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.
