CHORAL ANTHEM Creation Will Be at Peace- Anna Laura Page

In the holy mountain of the Lord all war and strife will cease; In the holy mountain of the Lord, creation will be at peace.  

The wolf will lie down with the lamb, the cow and bear will feed, their young will lay together; a little child will lead.

The leopard and goat will graze, the lion will feed on straw.  They will war no more.  A child will lead them all.
