1
God the Omnipotent! King,
who ordainest
Great winds Thy clarions,
the lightnings 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 righteousness
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."
