A prayer for our time

Our God to thee we pray
Heal our nation
Lord today
God of mercy grant us courage

Give us peace
Give us peace
Give us peace

When evil draws its angry sword
And seeks to sever freedom’s cord
Death and darkness shake our faith
In God’s unfailing pow’r to save

Eternal father ever be our courage in the time of need
When war is waged by faceless foes
Who battle peace with fiery blows

When storms of hate and fear assail our father’s mighty arm prevails
Eternal father ever be our refuge in the time of need
There is no tyrant who can stand against our sure defender’s hand
No threat or danger can defeat the strong and righteous prince of peace

Eternal father ever be our fortress in the time of need

Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
