God the Omnipotent! King who ordainest
Author: Henry Fothergill Chorley (1808-1872); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 11.10.11.9 Appears in 203 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:13 Lyrics: 1 God the Omnipotent! King who ordainest
great winds thy clarions, lightnings thy sword:
show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest:
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
meekness and mercy, and slighted thy word;
bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God, the All-righteous One! we have 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.
4 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.
5 So shall thy children, with thankful devotion,
praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean,
peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Kingdom of God; Nation and Society; Peace; Remembrance Sunday; Word of God Used With Tune: RUSSIA

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:14 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out
As year succeeds to year.
God is working his purpose out,
And the time is drawing near.
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
Wherever foot has trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to me, ye continents,
You isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea."
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
May shine throughout the world.
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is worthless toil
Unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed.
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: PURPOSE
