In Mary Lu Walker's Peaceable Kingdom as in the Book of Isaiah:

"The wolf lives with the lamb,
The panther lies down with the kid,
calf and lion cub feed together
with a little boy to lead them."

Peaceable Kingdom was first released in 1979 by K and R Music, Trumansburg, NY. All songs written and sung by Mary Lu Walker. Recorded at Pyramid Sound, Ithaca, NY.

"The human family yearns for the day when all nations will live together peaceably. If the beautiful prophesy of Isaiah is to be realized, what better place to begin the search for the Peaceable Kingdom than within the individual family?"  - Mary Lu Walker
