Gentle Mother, font of mercy, 
            Save our sons from war, we pray. 
            Stay the swords and stay the arrows, 
            Let them know a better day. 

            Gentle Mother, strength of women, 
            Help our daughters through this fray. 
            Soothe the wrath and tame the fury, 
            Teach us all a kinder way. 

            Gentle Mother, font of mercy, 
            Save our sons from war, we pray. 
            Stay the swords and stay the arrows, 
            Let them know a better day.
