Within a wall's thin hiding place
You guard them well, all-seeing God
This man, this child, who may not move
Lest movement bring the waiting sword

Across long years and oceans deep
Each life goes on and on to strive
Build but to break, dream but to fall
Yet still in nature hope derive

See them by flickering flames of fire
In soft-rubbed hand and lighted face
In quiet moments find reprieve
In gentle warmth a waiting place

O God, despite war's sharp despair
Despite cold hatred's harsh domain
Love triumphs soft as, with a breath
We loose at last your nameless name

Come now you source of holy peace
You who have stilled the echoing gun
Free all the captive tears concealed
Let them to you in freedom run

Within these woods beneath this tree
Remember now each one, each child
Each life hard-lived, returned to earth
Laid quiet down midst flowers wild
