The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#418

418. Great King of Nations, Hear Our Prayer

1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer,
While at Thy feet we fall;
And humbly with united cry
To Thee for mercy call.

2 When dangers, like a stormy sea,
Beset our country round,
To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried,
And help in Thee was found.

3 With one consent we meekly bow
Beneath Thy chast'ning hand,
And, pouring forth confession meet,
Mourn with our mourning land.

4 With pitying eye behold our need,
As thus we lift our prayer;
Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord,
Then let Thy mercy spare.

AMEN.
