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
