Christocentric Hymns or Motets/Anthems Regarding Peace

JacobFlaherty

Hello from a troubled area of the country (Twin Cities).

I was wondering - what are the best hymns and/or motets/anthems that you know regarding authentic peace that seems Christocentric in nature and not some sort of self-gift ('Let There Be Peace on Earth'). I am posting one that we sang at my Catholic parish as a kid:

See my CanticaNOVA collection, Hail the Long-awaited Son.

Key verse (DIX)

Peace shall follow in His wake--
Peace that all the stars did make.
Peace He bought us by His Blood:
Life's dear fountain, saving flood.
Peace He breathed upon His own,
Rising to His Father's throne.

I apologize for my laziness, but this is a good place to start.

"In Christ There Is No East Or West"
"Jesus Shall Reign"

Denounce, excoriate, or otherwise kill this messenger.
But this is no less appropriate for such a need as a Christocentric (by citation?) hymn.

To be clear, I'm not asking for help per say, but for what you like to use when the situation warrants or when the Scriptures' theme is 'peace'.

How often does this happen?

and let it begin with Thee"...
