ruling the counsel of men setting
straight the things they cannot
govern or alter, taking pity on the
nations now In the throes of con

showing a way where men can see
none, He vouchsafe His children
healing peace again and restore
once more that concord among men
and nations without which there can
br neither happiness nor true friend
ship nor any wholesone fruit of
toil or thought in the world; pray
ing also to this end that He for

that purge *d make wise.
