TEXT (Pepper Choplin)
How long, how long ’til this world is free from suffering?
How long, how long ’til blessed peace will reign?
How long, how long ’til the pow’r of love will come
and heaven’s will is done? How long, how long?
How long, how long ’til every gun is silenced?
How long, how long ’til hate and war shall end;
’til ev’ry battle’s thunder will fade to blessed peace
and sounds of war will cease? How long, how long?

Press on, press on, let faith and hope sustain you.
Press on, press on, keep working for the day
when all of God’s children will live in peace as one.
Until that new day comes, press on, press on.

Send me, send me to work for the kingdom.
Send me, send me to go and live for peace.
Until the love of heaven to earth shall descend
and peace will reign again, send me, send me.

Press on, we’ll press on. We will sing a peaceful song!
But still we’re praying on, how long, how long?

Soloists:
