1 God the All-terrible! King, who ordainest Great winds Thy clarion, the lightnings Thy sword; Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest, Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 2 God the Omnipotent, Mighty Avenger, Watching invisible, judging unheard, Save us in mercy, O save us from danger; Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 2 God the All-merciful! Earth hath forsaken Thy ways of blessedness, 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 with thankful devotion, Laud Him who saved them from peril abhorred; Singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean, Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Amen.
