In Time of War — Under Threat of War
W. E. Orchard*O God, who hast made of one blood all the nations of the earth, and hast set the bounds of their habitation that they might seek after thee and find thee: Mercifully hear our supplications, and remove from us the menace of war. Guide the rulers with thy counsel and restrain the passions of the people. Quicken the sense of our common brotherhood, bind the nations into a new bond of fellowship, and hasten the time when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of thy Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
