  O Day of God, Draw Nigh (.mp3)

1.	O day of God, draw nigh 
	in beauty and in power; 
	come with thy timeless judgment now 
	to match our present hour. 


2.	Bring to our troubled minds,
	uncertain and afraid, 
	the quiet of a steadfast faith, 
	calm of a call obeyed. 


3.	Bring justice to our land, 
	that all may dwell secure, 
	and finely build for days to come 
	foundations that endure. 


4.	Bring to our world of strife 
	thy sovereign word of peace, 
	that war may haunt the earth no more, 
	and desolation cease. 


5.	O day of God, draw nigh 
	as at creation's birth; 
	let there be light again, 
	and set thy judgments on the earth.
