God of our fathers, known of old
Prayer and Hope of Victory
Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: Prayer in time of war; War Prayer in Time of; Prayer in time of war; War Prayer in Time of First Line: Now may the God of power and grace Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of power and grace
Attend the people’s humble cry!
Jehovah hears when Israel prays,
And brings deliverance from on high.
2 The name of Jacob's God defends,
When bucklers fail and brazen walls;
He from his sanctuary sends
Succour and strength when Zion calls.
3 Well he remembers all our sighs,
His love exceeds our best deserts;
His love accepts the sacrifice
Of humble groans and broken hearts.
4 In his salvation is our hope,
And in the name of Israel's God
Our troops shall lift their banners up,
Our natives spread their flags abroad.
5 Some trust in horses train'd for war,
And some of chariots make their boasts;
Our surest expectations are
From thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts.
6 [O may the memory of thy name
Inspire our armies for the fight!
Our foes shall fall and die with shame,
Or quit the field with coward flight.]
7 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear,
Now let our hopes be firm and strong,
Till thy salvation shall appear,
And joy and triumph raise the song. Scripture: Psalm 20

O Lord, our fathers oft have told
Show mercy Lord, reveal thy pow'r
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: For a Fast-Day in time of War Lyrics: 1 Show mercy Lord, reveal thy pow'r:
Turn thy afflicting hand;
That much desired peace restore,
To this, our wretched land.
2 We have offended thee, our God!
Our crimes are very great;
Sedition, war, and shedding blood,
Deserves to be our fate.
3 Long have thine offers been deni'd;
In vain thy calls have been;
Well we deserve to be destroy'd,
And perish in our sin.
4 Our enemies with all their hosts,
Invade us ev'ry where;
They trouble us in all our coasts
And fill our land with fear.
5 What numbers of our fellow-men
Become a prey to death;
When in the field of battle slain,
And there resign their breath.
6 Whilst others are swept off the stage,
By various complaints,
Which, in our guilty camps do rage'
And hurries them from hence.
7 What sorrows, troubles, griefs and woes
In ev'ry place abound;
What numbers of our cruel foes
Compass us all around.
8 We grieve to see the great distress,
The present times have made;
Poor widows, helpless, fatherless,
Without support or aid.
9 Have mercy gracious God! we pray,
Lord, hear the cries we make;
O! cast us not from thee away,
Spare us for Jesus' sake.
Scripture: Jeremiah 15:1-7
Show mercy Lord, reveal thy pow'r
Great God of Hosts, our ears have heard
Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: In time of war Used With Tune: ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
Great God of Hosts, our ears have heard
God, to correct the world
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: In time of war Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world,
In wrath is slow to rise;
But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd,
And darkness veils the skies.
2 His banners, lifted high,
The nations' God declare,
And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd,
Spread wonder and despair.
3 All earthly pomp and pride
Are in his presence lost;
Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns,
In wild confusion tost.
4 While war and wo prevail,
And desolation wide;
In God, the sov'reign Lord of all,
The righteous still confide.
5 Mysterious is the course
Of his tremendous way:
His path is in the trackless winds,
And in the foaming sea.
6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds,
And from our view conceal'd
The righteous Judge will soon appear,
In majesty reveal'd!
7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r,
The deadly wrath of man;
And all the windings will unfold
Of his own gracious plan.
8 The sons of tyranny,
In ruin shall be hurl'd;
And light, and liberty, and bliss,
Embrace the new-born world.
God, to correct the world
On Thee, great Ruler of the skies
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: In time of war Lyrics: 1 On Thee, great Ruler of the skies,
On thee our steadfast hope relies;
When hostile powers against us join,
What aid so present, Lord, as thine!
2 By thee secur'd, no fears we own,
Though earth, convuls'd, beneath us groan,
Though tempest o'er her surface sweep,
And whirl her hills into the deep;--
3 Though, arm'd with rage, before our eyes
That deep in all its horrors rise,
While, as the tumult spreads around,
The mountains tremble at the sound.
4 Behold fair Sion's blest retreat,
Where God has fixt his awful seat;
Whose walls to heaven's almighty Lord
His chosen residence afford.
5 God, ever watchful, ever nigh
Bids storms around her harmless fly;
His early care each foe withstands,
And backward turns the yielding bands.
Scripture: Psalm 44

O Holy Father, righteous God!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: For a Fast-Day in time of War Lyrics: 1 O Holy Father, righteous God!
Our souls are fill'd with fear;
Thy punishments, thy scourge and rod,
Have now approached near.
2 Distressed and alarm'd we stand,
To see our awful state;
Thy judgments on our guilty land,
Is what we must await.
3 Thy punishments are very just,
O Lord, we must confess;
We should be humbled to the dust,
Who have abus'd thy grace.
4 How long have we abus'd thy word,
And ran the sinful course;
Well we deserve to feel the sword
With all its weight and force.
5 In many ways have we been warn'd
To turn from these our ways;
But all thy mercies we have spurn'd,
And slighted all thy grace.
6 But O, the time is come at last,
When we must feel the shock;
God's righteous sentence now is pass'd,
And justice strikes the stroke.
7 O, whither can such creatures fell?
Such as we are indeed!
But unto thee, O Lord! to thee!
Whose promises we plead. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19
O Holy Father, righteous God!
