O God of Every Nation

Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year C Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation, of every race and land, redeem the whole creation with your almighty hand; 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 Give strength to those who labour that all may find release from fear of rattling sabre, from dread of war's increase; when hope and courage falter, your still small 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 peace on earth shall reign and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain.
