   Make safe the way that leads on high,/ that we no more have cause to sigh.

   Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,/ and death's dark shadow put to flight.


7. O come, Desire of Nations, bind / in one the hearts of all humankind;
   Bid every strife and quarrel cease,/ and fill the world with heaven's peace.
