O God, We Pray for All Mankind

Howard J. Conover • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Verse 1

O God, we pray for all mankind, The nations far astray; We plead that all Thy grace may find, In this Thy gracious day, In this Thy gracious day.

Verse 2

Thou knowest, Lord, man’s sinful state, The source of human woe, His evil heart, his greed and hate, But whither can he go? But whither can he go?

Verse 3

With humble plea on Thee we call For nations in distress; Of one hast Thou not made us all? O God, our kindred bless, O God, our kindred bless!

Verse 4

Help all the nations, near and far, Awake, Thy glory see; Behold, the bright and morning star, The Christ of Calvary, The Christ of Calvary.
