Midst Conflict
We stand by faith in God for freedom’s quest
Toward restoration of liberty
While overcoming conflict’s painful test
As a nation of great sovereignty.
Toward restoration of liberty
Midst peaceful brotherly love’s creed and deed
As a nation of great sovereignty
We pray for blessed unity indeed.
Midst peaceful brotherly* love’s creed and deed
Blended with virtue-exercise to reign
We pray for blessed unity indeed
Smiting selfishness and haughtiness-gain.
Blended with virtue-exercise to reign
Kindness-zeal wins over suppression blight
Smiting selfishness and haughtiness-gain
Since citizens want to enjoy truth’s light.
Kindness-zeal wins over suppression blight
To let the world be inspired with peace-glow
Since citizens want to enjoy truth’s light
Prevailing over hate-aggression blow.
To let the world be inspired with peace-glow
Around fervent global congenial ties
Prevailing over hate-aggression blow
Hope seeks legal sanctions to quell children’s cries.
Around fervent global congenial ties
While overcoming painful conflict’s test
Hope seeks legal sanctions to quell children’s cries…
We stand by faith in God for freedom’s quest.
*Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
