God

the om­ni­po­tent!

King who or­dain­est

Great winds Thy cla­ri­ons

Lightnings Thy sword;

Show forth Thy pi­ty

On high where Thou reign­est

Give to us peace

In our time

O Lord.

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.

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.

God the all wise!

By the fire of Thy chast­en­ing

Earth shall to free­dom

And truth be re­stored;

Through the thick dark­ness

Thy king­dom is hast­en­ing;

Thou wilt give peace

In Thy time

O Lord.

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.
