357 Peace in Our Time, o Lord
John Oxenham, 1852-1941
A beautiful prayer for the peace which is “based upon Thy will and built in righteousness.” The author, having learned that a new hymnary was to be published, and aware of the Mennonite position on war and peace, sent this hymn from England for inclusion in this book with the request that it be used with the tune “Diademata.”

MUSIC. DIADEMATA. For comments on this tune and its composer, George J. Elvey, see Hymn 118.
