One of the better antiwar hymns of the early 20th century was Clifford Bax's Turn Back, O Man [link to The Cyber Hymnal], written in response to the Great War of 1914 and first published in 1919.

Unfortunately, its language is too archaic and too androcentric to be readily introduced to new singers today. So I'm wondering if any of you know of good rewrites (modernized or inclusivized or both, but especially the latter) of it. The Esperanto version, Pentu vi, homoj, avoids the problems but is, unfortunately, Greek to most American churchgoers. ;-(
