World Prayer for Peace

For peace in your country

For the victims of violence everywhere

For those struggling for peace and justice

For churches in conflict situations

For a world without war and violence

Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth,

Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust

Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace,

Let peace fill our beings, our world and our universe.

Amen.

World Prayer for Peace from the Vancouver Assembly.

On 5th August, on the eve of the Hiroshima bombing's 38th anniversary, the WCC Assembly held a night-long vigil for peace. (World Council of Churches).
