084 – God the Omnipotent

Text Size
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.”
