PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR

O God, Who bringest wars to nought and shieldest by Thy power all who hope in Thee, overthrowing those that assail them; help Thy servants who implore Thy mercy; so that the fierce might of their enemies may be brought low and we may never cease to praise and thank Thee.

O God, who hast dominion over all realms and kings, who by striking healest, and by pardoning savest; stretch out over us Thy mercy, so that by Thy power we may enjoy peace and tranquillity and use them for our healing and amendment.

Through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
