For All Nations
O THOU in Whose hand are the hearts of Thy creatures, shed abroad Thy peace upon the world. By the might of Thy Holy Spirit quench the pride, and anger, and greediness which cause man to strive against man, and people against people. Lead all nations in the ways of mutual help and good-will, and hasten the time when the earth shall confess Thee indeed for its Saviour and King, and no evil deeds of man shall defile Thy glorious creation ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
