Great God, Whom Heaven, and Earth, and Sea

Great God

whom Heav­en

and earth

and sea

With all their count­less hosts

ob­ey;

Upheld by whom the na­tions stand

And em­pires fall at Thy com­mand.

Beneath Thy long sus­pend­ed ire

Let ev­ery an­ti­christ ex­pire;

Thy know­ledge spread from sea to sea

And dist­ant na­tions bow to Thee.

Then show Thy­self the Prince of Peace

Command the din of war to cease;

With sac­red love the world in­spire

And burn its cha­ri­ots in the fire.

Let earth be­neath Thy reign of love

A uni­vers­al Sab­bath prove:

Jesus her peace­ful king ad­ore

And learn the act of war no more.
