[A] Dream of Peace - as played by 101 Strings Orchestra

Hello all. Wonderful resource you have here.

I was wondering if anyone might know the lyrics to the classical style hymn "Dream of Peace" (sometimes "A Dream of Peace"). The song I refer to is performed by the 101 Strings Orchestra in their "Inspirational Favorites" album(s), and can be listened to at http://www.rhapsody.com/album/60inspira ... gestart=20 (just scroll to the bottom of the list and hit "A Dream of Peace", second from last). I just seem to have a hard time making out what they're saying... perhaps it's my sound system. Anyway, some snippets that I was able to make out (I think):

"I saw the son of men lost in a dream (?);
They were hard (not?) tempted then ...

name or creed ...

they knew ...

I saw them standing there, each man afraid (?);
I heard their pleading prayer (?) ...

through faith He'll see us through (?) ...

cease ...

Let's make his dream come true (??), [inaudible] dream of peace."


That's about all I could get. Many thanks for your help.
