24 A Song of Peace

Refrain:

All   Spirit of God, teach us your ways,

that we may walk in the paths of peace.

1    Come, let us go up to the mountain of God,  

to the house of the God of Jacob;

2    That God may teach us his ways,  

and that we may walk in his paths.

3    For the law shall go out from Zion,  

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

4    God shall judge between the nations,  

and shall mediate for many peoples.

5    They shall beat their swords into ploughshares,  

and their spears into pruning hooks.

6    Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,  

neither shall they learn war any more.

7    O people of Jacob, come:  

let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Isaiah 2.3-5

All   Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning is now

and shall be for ever. Amen.

All   Spirit of God, teach us your ways,

that we may walk in the paths of peace.
