Author: H. F. Chorley Meter: 11.10.11.9 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, the all-merciful! earth hath forsaken Thy ways of blessedness, slighted Thy word; Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken; Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 2 God the all-righteous One! man hath defiled Thee; Yet to eternity standeth Thy word, Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee; Give to us peace in our time, O Lord. 3 God the all-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening, Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored; Through the thick darkness Thy kingdom is hastening: Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord. 4 So will Thy people, with thankful devotion, Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword; Shouting in chorus from ocean to ocean Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Amen. Topics: Our Country Used With Tune: [God, the all-merciful! earth hath forsaken]
