written by Carol Penner.
A Litany for Two Voices
Remember with clear eyes the horrific cost of
war.
Remember
with deep sorrow those who killed and were killed.
Remember with grief the blood-stained
battlefields.
Remember
with tears the rending of people from their homes.
Remember with compassion the bereaved and the
wounded.
Remember
with reverence those who risked their lives for peace.
Remember with tenderness the children’s
longing for freedom.
Remember
with gratefulness all who forgave their enemies.
Remember with hope that the kingdom is
planted with small seeds.
Remember
with confidence that faith, hope and love abide.
All: Remember with joy that our Saviour is
the Prince of Peace.
