Show mercy Lord, reveal thy pow'r

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CLII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: For a Fast-Day in time of War Lyrics: 1 Show mercy Lord, reveal thy pow'r: Turn thy afflicting hand; That much desired peace restore, To this, our wretched land. 2 We have offended thee, our God! Our crimes are very great; Sedition, war, and shedding blood, Deserves to be our fate. 3 Long have thine offers been deni'd; In vain thy calls have been; Well we deserve to be destroy'd, And perish in our sin. 4 Our enemies with all their hosts, Invade us ev'ry where; They trouble us in all our coasts And fill our land with fear. 5 What numbers of our fellow-men Become a prey to death; When in the field of battle slain, And there resign their breath. 6 Whilst others are swept off the stage, By various complaints, Which, in our guilty camps do rage' And hurries them from hence. 7 What sorrows, troubles, griefs and woes In ev'ry place abound; What numbers of our cruel foes Compass us all around. 8 We grieve to see the great distress, The present times have made; Poor widows, helpless, fatherless, Without support or aid. 9 Have mercy gracious God! we pray, Lord, hear the cries we make; O! cast us not from thee away, Spare us for Jesus' sake.

God, to correct the world

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #687 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: In time of war Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world, In wrath is slow to rise; But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd, And darkness veils the skies. 2 His banners, lifted high, The nations' God declare, And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd, Spread wonder and despair. 3 All earthly pomp and pride Are in his presence lost; Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns, In wild confusion tost. 4 While war and wo prevail, And desolation wide; In God, the sov'reign Lord of all, The righteous still confide. 5 Mysterious is the course Of his tremendous way: His path is in the trackless winds, And in the foaming sea. 6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds, And from our view conceal'd The righteous Judge will soon appear, In majesty reveal'd! 7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r, The deadly wrath of man; And all the windings will unfold Of his own gracious plan. 8 The sons of tyranny, In ruin shall be hurl'd; And light, and liberty, and bliss, Embrace the new-born world.

O Holy Father, righteous God!

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CLIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: For a Fast-Day in time of War Lyrics: 1 O Holy Father, righteous God! Our souls are fill'd with fear; Thy punishments, thy scourge and rod, Have now approached near. 2 Distressed and alarm'd we stand, To see our awful state; Thy judgments on our guilty land, Is what we must await. 3 Thy punishments are very just, O Lord, we must confess; We should be humbled to the dust, Who have abus'd thy grace. 4 How long have we abus'd thy word, And ran the sinful course; Well we deserve to feel the sword With all its weight and force. 5 In many ways have we been warn'd To turn from these our ways; But all thy mercies we have spurn'd, And slighted all thy grace. 6 But O, the time is come at last, When we must feel the shock; God's righteous sentence now is pass'd, And justice strikes the stroke. 7 O, whither can such creatures fell? Such as we are indeed! But unto thee, O Lord! to thee! Whose promises we plead. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19 Languages: English

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #644 (1994) Topics: In Time of War/Disaster Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. 2 Beneath the shadow of your throne Your saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is your arm alone, And our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received its frame, From everlasting you are God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight Are like an ev'ening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all our lives away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the op'ning day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be now our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home.
