1. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
No longer, Lord, thy sons shall sow
Hatred and death where poppies blow;
Peace out of harrowed lives shall grow.
Alleluia!
2. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
No more shall flares and rockets rain
Pallor on sons and fathers slain;
Justice shall vanquish grief and pain.
Alleluia!
3. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Peace-Maker, Christ, whose living word
Quieted waves and sheathed the sword,
Show us thy risen spirit, Lord,
Alleluia!
4. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Till souls of all the crucified
Waken from sea and mountainside,
Hailing the dream for which they died.
Alleluia!
5. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Then shall we stand as Mary stood,
Knowing thou livest, life is good,
Making all men a brotherhood.
Alleluia!
