On this statue (right) placed
by people who understood the Scriptures
outside the United Nations, a prophecy of
"God's will being done on earth as in heaven."
This inscription appears
"In the last days...
They will beat the swords into plowshares and
their spears into pruning hooks. Nations shall
not lift up sword against nation and will they
train for war anymore."
Isaiah 2: 4
WE'VE A STORY to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right-
A story of truth and mercy
A story of peace and light.
We've a song to be sung to the Nations,
That shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
A song that shall conquer evil
And shatter the spear and sword.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noon-day bright,
And Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
