868 MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS

O Lord God, Holy and Righteous

Beneath the shadow of Thy chastening hand, upraised to visit
upon us our sins, our grievous sins, we flee to Thee for pardon;
Thou hast spoken, and we have not heard; Thou has bruised us,
and we have not heeded. Turn Thou us, and we shall be turned.
Grant us all Thy Holy Spirit that we may repent and not perish;
deal Thou with us according to Thy mercy and not according to
our sins, and forgive us for the sake of Thy Son Jesus Christ,
our Lord.

O Lord God, Gracious and Merciful

In mercy remember Thy servants who trust in Thee, and let
us not be confounded. Turn the tide of war that threatens us, and
grant unto our land and unto all nations peace, that we may live
to serve Thee in holiness and righteousness, through Jesus Christ,
Thy Son, our Lord.

O Lord God, Only Wise and Almighty

Grant Thou to the powers which Thou hast everywhere or-
dained wisdom and sobriety, and visit in blessing all nations of the
earth, that all men may dwell in amity together and do Thy will;
especially do we implore Thee for our beloved land, our President
and Congress and all who are in authority over us; grant them
wisdom that they may rightly use the strength that Thou hast
given, to Thy glory. Hear us, O Lord God, for the sake of Thy
Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee
and the Haly Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
