God the Omnipotent
Verse 1:
God the omnipotent! King, who ordainest
Great winds Thy clarions,
the lightenings Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high
where Thou Reignest,
Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.”
