Give peace in these our daies O Lord, Great dangers are now at hand: Thine enemies with one accord, Christs name in every land, Seek to deface, root out and race Thy true right worship indeed: Be thou our stay, Lord we thee pray, Thou helpst alone in all need. Give us that peace that we do lack Through misbeleefe and ill life: Thy Word to offer thou dost not slack Which we unkindly gain-strive, With fire and sword, This helathfull word, Some persecute and oppresse, Soone with the mouth Confesse the truth, Without sincere godlinesse. Give peace, and us thy Spirit down send With griefe and repentance true, Pierce thou our hearts, our lives amend, And by fiath in Christ renew. That feare and dread Warre and bloud-shed, Through thy sweet mercy and grace, May from us slide, Thy truth may bide, And shine in every palce. | The Whole Booke of Psalmes: collected into English meeter #90a (1640) |
