1 God the omnipotent! King who ordainest
Great winds thy clarions, lightning thy sword:
Show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the all merciful! Earth hath forsaken
Meekness and mercy, and slighted thy Word;
Bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God the All righteous One! We have defied thee,
Yet to eternity standeth thy Word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God the all wise! By the fire of thy chast'ning
Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness thy kingdom is hast'ning;
Thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord.
