Verse 2:
O Lord, dark powers are poised to flood
Our streets with hate and fear
We must awaken
O Lord, let love reclaim the lives
That sin would sweep away
And let Your Kingdom come
Verse 3:
Yet, O Lord, your glorious cross shall tower
Triumphant in this land
Evil confounding
Through the fire Your suffering church display
The glories of her Christ
Praises resounding
