Thou, who didst stoop below
No War Nor Battle's Sound
Author: John Milton Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 58 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: No war nor battle’s sound was heard the world around Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle’s sound was heard the world around—
No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran;
But peaceful was the night in which the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon the earth began.
2 No conqueror’s sword He bore, nor warlike armor wore,
Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild;
In peace and love He came, and gentle was the reign
Which o’er the earth He spread by influence mild.
3 Unwilling kings obeyed, and sheathed the battle blade,
And called their bloody legions from the field;
In silent awe they wait, and close the warrior’s gate,
Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield.
4 The peaceful Conqueror goes, And triumphs o’er His foes,
His weapons drawn from armories above;
Behold the vanquished sit submissive at His feet,
And strife and hate are changed to peace and love.
