Great Ruler Of The Earth And Skies

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9509 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great Ruler of the eath and skies Lyrics: 1 Great Ruler of the eath and skies, A word of Thy almighty breath Can sink the world, or bid it rise; Thy smile is life, Thy frown is death. 2 When angry nations rush to arms, And rage and noise, and tumult reign, And war resounds its dire alarms, And slaughter spreads the hostile plains; 3 Thy sovereign eye looks calmly down, And marks their course, and bounds their power; Thy word the angry nations own, And noise and war are heard no more. 4 Then peace returns with balmy wing, Sweet peace! with her what blessings fled! Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing, Reviving commerce lifts her head. 5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord, All move subservient to Thy will; And peace and war await Thy word, And Thy sublime decrees fulfill. 6 To Thee we pay our grateful songs, Thy kind protection still implore; O may our hearts, and lives and tongues Confess Thy goodness and adore.
