God gives Victory

Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: National deliverance; National deliverance First Line: Had not the God of truth and love Lyrics: 1 Had not the God of truth and love, When hosts against us rose, Display'd his vengeance from above, And crush'd the conquering foes: 2 Their armies like a raging flood Had swept the guardless land, Destroy'd on earth his blest abode, And whelm'd our feeble band. 3 But safe beneath his spreading shield His sons securely rest, Defy the dangers of the field, And bare the fearless breast. 4 And now our souls shall bless the Lord, Who broke the deadly snare; Who sav'd us from the murdering sword, And made our lives his care. 5 Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who form'd the heavens above; He that supports their wondrous frame Can guard his church by love. Scripture: Psalm 124

On a day of prayer for success in war

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: National prayer and praise First Line: Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare Lyrics: 1 Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare Look up to thy divine above? Or offer their imperfect prayer Before a just, a holy God? 2 Bright terrors guard thy awful seat, And dazzling glories veil thy face; Yet mercy calls us to thy feet, Thy throne is still a throne of grace. 3 O may our souls thy grace adore May Jesus plead our humble claim; While thy protection we implore, In his prevailing, glorious name. 4 With all the boasted pomp of war In vain we dare the hostile field: In vain, unless the Lord be there; Thy arm alone is Britain's shield. 5 Let past experience of thy care Support our hope, our trust invite! Again attend our humble prayer! Again be mercy thy delight! 6 Our arms succeed, our councils guide, Let thy right hand our cause maintain; 'Till war's destructive rage subside, And peace resume her gentle reign. 7 O when shall time the period bring, When raging war shall waste no more; When peace shall stretch her balmy wing From Europe's coast, to India's shore. 8 When shall the gospel's healing ray (Kind source of amity divine!) Spread o'er the world celestial day? When shall the nations, Lord, be thine?

And may our grief thy grace declare, By every Christly cross we bear To bless and make men free.
