Author: Henry F. Chorley; John Ellerton Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #577 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.9 Topics: God Power and Majesty of First Line: God the Omnipotent! boldly ordaining Lyrics: 1 God the Omnipotent! boldly ordaining
thunder and lightning your strength to display,
Bring forth compassion where violence is reigning;
give to us peace in our time, we pray.
2 God the All-merciful! earth has forsaken
all you make holy, and slighted your way;
Bid not your wrath in its terrors awaken:
give to us peace in our time, we pray.
3 God, the All-righteous One! earth has defied you,
yet to eternity stands what you say;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside you;
give to us peace in our time, we pray.
4 God the All-provident! by your great chastening
earth shall see freedom and truth holding sway;
Though the thick chaos your reign is still hastening:
you will give peace in your time, we pray.
