God the Omnipotent

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.

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.

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.

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.”
