 We hear portions of these verses set to music in a piece called O Man Greatly Beloved by Ralph Vaughn Williams, which comes from his multi-movement work Dona Nobis Pacem. Vaughn Williams wrote this work, which translates to Grant Us Peace, in between the two world wars that tore nations apart from one another and wrought so much devastation. We hear in this piece a prayer for peace, as suitable for our own time as any.
