Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation

Ralph Vaughan Williams

Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,

neither shall there be war any more.

And none shall make them afraid,

neither shall the sword go through the land.

Mercy and truth are met together,

righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall spring out of the earth,

and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go into them.

Let all the nations be gathered together,

and let the people be assembled;

and let them hear, and say, it is the truth.

And it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues.

And they shall come and see my glory.

And I will set a sign among them,

and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

For as the new heavens, and the new earth,

which I will make, shall remain before me,

so shall your seed and your name remain for ever.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,

good-will toward men.
