Thanksgiving for Victory

Glory to thee in thine omnipotence,
O Lord, who art our shield and our defence.
And dost dispense.
As seemeth best to thine unerring will,
(Which passeth mortal sense,)
The lot of Victory still;
Edging sometimes with might the sword unjust;
And bowing to the dust
The rightful cause, that so such seeming ill
May thine appointed purposes fulfil ;
Sometimes, as in this late auspicious hour
For which our hymns we raise,
Making the wicked feel thy present power;
Glory to thee and praise.
Almighty God, by whom our strength was given !
Glory to thee, O Lord of Earth and Heaven !
