God the Omnipotent

Verse 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.

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."
