84- God the Omnipotent

God the Father: Majesty and Power of God

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-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.

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."
