Lyrics The Armed Man - A Mass for Peace: VI. Hymn Before Action - Karl Jenkins feat. London Philharmonic Orchestra, National Youth Choir of Great Britain & Neil Percy

The earth is full of anger, The seas are dark with wrath,
The Nations in their harness
Go up against our path:
Ere yet we loose the legions—
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles, aid
High lust and froward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek Thy mercy now
The sinner that forswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord, grant us strength to die!
