- 1God the omnipotent! King, who ordainestThunder 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 forsakenThy ways all holy, and slighted Thy Word;Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken:Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
- 2God the allrighteous 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 almighty One! Wisely ordainingJudgments unsearchable, famine and sword;Over the tumult of war Thou art reigning,Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
