Looking to God in the Distress of War

Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Day of Humiliation and Disappointments in War; War disappointments therein; Day of Humiliation and Disappointments in War; War disappointments therein First Line: Lord thou hast scourg'd our guilty land Lyrics: 1 Lord thou hast scourg'd our guilty land, Behold thy people mourn; Shall vengeance ever guide thy hand? And mercy ne'er return? 2 Beneath the terrors of thine eye, Earth's haughty towers delay; Thy frowning mantle spreads the sky, And mortals melt away. 3 Our Sion trembles at thy stroke, And dreads thy lifted hand! Oh, heal the people thou hast broke, And save the sinking land. 4 Exalt thy banner in the field, For those that fear thy name; From barbarous hosts our nation shield, And put our foes to shame. 5 Attend our armies to the fight, And be their guardian God; In vain shall numerous powers unite, Against thy lifted rod. 6 Our troops, beneath thy guiding hand, Shall gain a glad renown: 'Tis God who makes the feeble stand, And treads the mighty down. Scripture: Psalm 60

Thou who ordainest, Thunder Thy clarion, lightning Thy sword; Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest: Give to us peace in our time, O Lord! 2 God, the Almighty One! wisely ordaining Judgments unsearchable, famine and sword; Over the tumult of war Thou art reigning: Give to us peace in our time, O Lord! 3 God, the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken Thy ways of blessedness, slighted Thy word; Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken: Give to us peace in our time, O Lord! 4 God, the All-righteous one! man hath 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! 5 God, the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening, Earth shall to freedom and peace be restored; Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening; Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord! 6 So shall Thy children, with thankful devotion, Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword, Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean, Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.

Where hate and fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us, and heal our strife-torn world. 2 From search for wealth and power and scorn of truth and right, from trust in bombs that shower destruction through the night, from pride of race and nation and blindness to your way, deliver every nation, eternal God, we pray! 3 Lord, strengthen all who labor that we may find release from fear of rattling saber, from dread of war's increase. When hope and courage falter, Lord, let your voice be heard; with faith that none can alter, your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease, when hatred and division give way to love and peace, till dawns the morning glorious when truth and justice reign, and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain.
