And mortals melt away.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #415 (1814) Topics: In time of war Lyrics: 1 While sounds of war are heard around,
And death and ruin strew the ground:
To thee we look, on thee we call,
The Parent and the Lord of all.
2 Thou, who hast stamp'd on human kind
The image of a heav'n-born mind,
And in a Father’s wide embrace
Hast cherished all the kindred race;
3 O see, with that insatiate rage
Thy sons their impious battles wage;
How spreads destruction like a flood,
And brothers shed their brothers' blood!
4 See guilty passions spring to birth,
And deeds of hell deform the earth;
Whilst righteousness and justice mourn,
And love and pity droop forlorn.
5 Great God! whose pow'rful hand can bind
The raging waves, the furious wind,
O bid the human tempest cease,
And hush the madd'ning world to peace.
6 With rev'rence may each hostile land
Hear and obey that high command,
Thy Son’s blest errand from above:—
“My creatures, live in mutual love!” Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #105 (1740) Topics: Day of Humiliation for Dissapointments in War First Line: Lord, hast thou cast the Nation off? Lyrics: 1 Lord, hast thou cast the Nation off?
Must we for ever mourn?
Wilt thou indulge immortal Wrath?
Shall Mercy ne'er return?

Melts all our Strength away;
Like Men that totter drunk with Wine,
We tremble in Dismay.
3 Great Britain shakes beneath thy Stroke
And dreads thy threat'ning Hand;
O heal the Island thou hast broke,
Confirm the wav'ring Land.
4 Lift up a Banner in the Field
For those that fear thy Name;
Save thy Beloved with thy Shield,
And put our Foes to Shame.
5 Go with our Armies to the Fight,
Like a Confed'rate GOD;
In vain confed'rate Pow'rs unite
Against thy lifted Rod.
6 Our Troops shall gain a wide Renown,
By thine assisting Hand
'Tis GOD that treads the Mighty down,
And makes the Feeble stand.

My rock, my tower, my high defence;

The blast of his Almighty breath:
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.]

Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #606 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: War & Revolution; War & Revolution Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand.
Where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us,
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray!
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
that we may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.38 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Praise for victory in war; War spiritual; War victory First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength Lyrics:
Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tower, my high defence:
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
I saw the op'ning gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
Which none but they that feel can tell;
While I was hurried to despair.
In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint,
Then did his grace appear divine.
With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub's wing he rode;
Awful and bright as lightning shone
The face of my deliverer, God.
Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his almighty breath;
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.
Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars that devils wage.
My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord,
Due to his mercy and his power

Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere,
Hast made thy truth and love appear;
Before mine eyes I set thy laws,
And thou hast owned my righteous cause.
Since I have learned thy holy ways,
I've walked upright before thy face;
Or if my feet did e'er depart,
'Twas never with a wicked heart.
What sore temptations broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings in my breast!
But through thy grace, that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin:
That sin which close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will:
When shall thy Spirit's sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?
[With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward;
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
The just and pure shall ever say,
Thou art more pure, more just than they;
And men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.]
