The Brink of Justice
Oh God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
There have been so many words on this
There's little else to say
Injustice once again reared it's head,
And tried to have it's day
But the world isn't just watching this time
They're all joining in
The chorus cries are louder now
Than they've ever been
We must seize this moment
Embracing resources near and far
To change this world in lasting ways
To close this path so future days
Will not tread this way again.
But we can't stop with our own needs
while others throughout the world
Live in poverty, dis-ease, and injustice of their own.
While nations stand and kneel with us,
We must also fight for them.
A one-sided peace is no peace at all
We know this all too well
Oh God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be thou' our guide while troubles last
And our eternal home

Oh God, Our Help in Ages Past - Isaac Watts
