(Genesis 29. 15-35; John 7. 1-13)
O that you had hearkened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 48. 18 (RSV)
Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding, -
Trust in God, and do the right. 284. 5
God is a God not of disorder but of peace.
1 Corinthians 14. 33
One Lord, in one great name
Unite us all who own thee;
Cast out our pride and shame
That hinder to enthrone thee;
The world has waited long,
Has travailed long in pain;
To heal its ancient wrong,
Come, Prince of Peace, and reign. 692. 3
