Better Is Peace (L'homme arme)

(не полный перевод)
И отрет Бог всякую слезу с очей их,
и смерти не будет уже;
ни плача, ни вопля,
ни болезни уже не будет.
Хвалите Господа. 

Better is peace than always war
and better is peace than evermore war.
The Armed Man must be feared;
everywhere it has been decreed
That every man should arm himself
with an Iron Coat of mail.
Ring out the thousand years of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring out the old, ring in the new.
Ring happy bells across the snow:
The year is going to let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the [bad word] 
Ring out old shapes and foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of Gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old;
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free, the large heart,
The kindlier hand.
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
God shall wipe away all tears,
and there shall be no more death.
Neither sorrow nor crying.
Neither shall there be any more pain.
Praise the Lord!
