Peace prayed for

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: On Britain, long a favor'd Isle Lyrics: 1 On Britain, long a favor'd Isle, Now o'erwhelmed with sin and shame, Deign, mighty God, once more to smile; The same thy power, thy grace the same. 2 Let peace descend with balmy wing, And all its blessings round her shed; Her liberties be well secur'd, And commerce raise its fainting head: 3 Let the loud cannon cease to roar, The warlike trump no longer sound; The din of arms be heard no more, Nor human blood pollute the ground. 4 Let hostile troops from their hands, The useless sword, the glittering spear; And join in friendship's sacred bands, Nor one dissentient voice be there. 5 Thus save, O Lord, a sinking land, Millions of tongues shall then adore, Resound the honors of thy name, From spread thy praise from shore to shore.
