My eyes are growing weary,
Longing to see the King, Messiah.

1.
Those who should fill the earth with joy
Through the message of the Gospel
Have lost their way
And are preparing their hearts for terrible wars.
O Lord, Ocean of Goodness,
They seem unable to understand even the simplest truth.

2.
The science that could bring blessing and goodness to the world
Is now being used to create weapons
Designed to destroy the world.
O Lord of all, do You see
How sinful humanity is pursuing these things?

3.
How tragic! Christians themselves,
Prepared for war, are entering terrible conflicts.
Bombs and tanks
Are reducing the earth to ashes.
Lord, do You see this?

4.
Lord of the world, turn Your eyes of divine compassion
Toward us who are deeply troubled and grieving.
Please remove the terrible afflictions
That have fallen upon the earth, and do so quickly.

5.
Do not delay even for a moment.
Come swiftly, riding upon the clouds.
Come to earth and spread Your protecting wings over us,
Watching over us and caring for Your people.

6.
Let the sound of the trumpet of war
No longer be heard by us.
Instead, let our hearts be refreshed
By the sweetness of Your glorious name.
At this hour, come and tear apart
The works and power of Satan.

7.
Let the smell of fire and gun powder
That fills the skies disappear,
And let the air be filled instead
With the fragrance of flowers—
With jasmine, lilies, and beautiful blossoms.
O Lord of all, grant us such a world!
