Augustus Montague Toplady (Огастус Монтегю Топледи)

On War

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.

1. When Languor and Disease Invade
2. Fountain of Never Ceasing Grace
3. He Dwelleth in You
4. Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve
5. If, on a Quiet Sea, Toward Heaven We Calmly Sail
