A Song of Hope and Peace by Gertrude Sans Souci — Lyrics
Give us hope at morningtide
When the night is gone,
Let thy sunshine be our guide,
Lead us safely on;
Though our road be rough and long,
Lonely each vale and hill,
Give our lips a golden song,
Father, bless us still.

About A Song of Hope and Peace
Gertrude Sans Souci's A Song of Hope and Peace is an anthem for SATB choir, written in English. The text is a prayer for guidance and solace, expressed with simple, direct language. It begins with a plea for hope and strength at the start of the day, asking for light to lead the way through difficulties. The second stanza turns to the evening, seeking peace and comfort, and praying for rest in God's love after life's journey is complete. The music is intended to reflect the lyrical themes of seeking divine assistance and finding ultimate peace.
