Make of our homes a place
where Your love dwells,
through patient ways may
angry thoughts dispel.
Remove the sin that binds
our foolish hearts,
heal hurtful wounds that
careless tongues impart.
Let bitter words make way
for cordial acts,
change lies that harm to
naught but kindly facts.
May your good grace descend
and soothe our pain,
end every conflict
so that calm remains.
It is by loving that
we come to know
the gracious gift of peace
that you bestow.
