Tune: | RUSSIAN HYMN |
Composer: | Alexis F. Lwoff |
1 God the Omnipotent! King, who ordainest
Thunder Thy clarion, the lightning Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
2 God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Meekness and mercy, and slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
3 God the All-righteous One! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord!
4 So shall Thy children in thankful devotion
Laud Him who saved them from peril and sword;
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,
Peace to the nations and praise to the Lord.
Amen.
