Hymns for Times of Trouble, 5

Omnipotent Lord, Whom armies obey,
And lose at Thy word, Or carry the day;
With faithful affection To Thee let us cleave,
And in Thy protection Triumphantly live.

Thou great God of war, Thine Israel bless,
For conquest prepare, And grant us success:
With sorrow before Thee And shame let us fall,
And meekly adore Thee, The Saviour of all.

If first Thou chastise Our insolent boast,
Yet bid us arise As out of the dust;
In deep tribulation Thy power let us own,
Ascribing salvation To Jesus alone.

O Jesus, if now Too many we are,
Too stubborn to bow And seek Thee in prayer,
By judgments subdue us, But show us Thy grace,
But hasten to show us The light of Thy face.

When humbly on Thee Alone we depend,
We trust Thou wilt be Our helper and friend;
Go forth with our armies, Our leader and guide;
And nothing shall harm us With God on our side.
