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 defiled 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;
through the thick darkness your reign is still hastening:
you will give peace in your time, we pray. Topics: God's World Peace on Earth; God's World Peace on Earth; God: Power; God: Providence; Peace on Earth Languages: English Tune Title: RUSSIAN HYMN
