“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.
God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Meekness and mercy, and slighted Thy Word;
Let not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
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.
God the All-provident! Earth by Thy chastening
Yet shall to freedom and truth be restored
Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord.”
