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

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

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.

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
