“Study War No More” is the Royal Song of the Day. It’s a classic (well, make that a “traditional”, identified as a Black Spiritual). And, the song can be found in Rise Up Singing on page 163.
Here is a youtube video of Mahalia Jackson singing “Study War No More“:

Some of the new and additional lyrics printed in Rise Up Singing include: “Gonna lay down my income tax / I ain’t a gonna pay for war no more.” “Gonna lay down those Congressional hawks / I ain’t gonna vote for war nore more.”
Duchess Susanna is dedicating this song to the folks who gathered together with us tonight to work for peace.
