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.”
