Ode of Peace
Words, music and photography by Fr. Emmanuel Hatzidakis
“Peace is what I leave with you,
it is My peace I give to you.
Do not be troubled nor upset” (John 14:27)
“Abide in Me and I in you” (John 15:4)
Ιn Me alone you may find everlasting peace,” (John 16:33).
Take heart, for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)
“By day, O Lord, You send Your steadfast love.
By night we raise a song of praise to You” (Ps. 42:8).
With arms outstretched we pray to You, O God.
May peace on earth forever reign.
Ο guide our feet unto the way of peace (cf. Lk. 1:79)
Αnd grant that we may grow in harmony and peace.

Fr. Emmanuel recorded this "demo track" on a 4-track tape recorder back in the early 1990's. All the voices are his! He had always wanted a children’s choir.
