Kim has another new hymn posted at Faith and Theology
O God of peace, whose peace is Christ your Son,
put on your armour that the war be won,
the war on war, your Word against the gun:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
put on your armour that the war be won,
the war on war, your Word against the gun:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O God of power, whose power appears so weak,
call up your soldiers from among the meek,
who won’t turn tail, but turn the other cheek:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O God of love, whose love casts out all fear,
steady your people when the warlike jeer,
but rather insults than their blood and tears:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O God of hosts, whose host is bread for life,
feed us by faith for strength in times of strife,
and fill with hope the grieving child and wife:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O God of time, whose time is always nigh,
keep us alert to leaders’ lethal lies,
come now your reign when truth will never die:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Kim Fabricius
The tune is Sine Nomine (”For all the saints…”)

Hi Kim,
Can I have your permission for using this hymn in next Wednesday’s Knox College Chapel Service? I am doing a Remembrance Day theme.
Blessings,
Eugene

I’ll have to speak for Kim as he’s off the internet for a bit. Put his name at the bottom of it and I’m certain he’ll be delighted that his hymn is being used. See what Kim says in the comments here and here if you need something “from the horse’s mouth”
