84 - God the Omnipotent

God the Omnipotent!
King who ordainest
Great winds Thy clarions,
The lightings Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest
Give to us peace,
O most merciful Lord.
2
God the all merciful!
Earth hath forsaken
Thy precepts holy, and slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace,
O most merciful Lord
3
God the all righteous One!
Man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Prosper the right,
O most merciful Lord.
4
So shall we render Thee thankful devotion,
For Thy deliverance from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,
“Thine is the power and the glory,
O Lord.”
