O hear, my people, hear me well: 
“I have no need for sacrifice;
But mercy, loving kindness shall
Alone for life and good suffice.”

Then source of peace, lead us to peace, 
A place profound, and wholly true.
And lead us to a mastery 
O’er drives in us that war pursue.

May deeds we do inscribe our names
As blessings in the Book of Life.
O source of peace, lead us to heal.
O source of peace, lead us from strife.
