1. Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
    Lord of lords and King of kings,
With Thy living fire of judgment
    Purge this land of bitter things;
Solace all its wide dominion
    With the healing of thy wings.

2. Still the weary folk are pining
    For the hour that brings release,
And the city's crowded clangor
    Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
    Plead in silence for their peace.

3. Crown, O God, thine own endeavor;
    Cleave our darkness with Thy sword;
Feed the faint and hungry heathen ¹
    With the richness of Thy word;
Cleanse the body of this nation
    Through the glory of the Lord.
