Text and translations

English text All-conquering Lord, whom sinners adore, Remember thy word, and stir up thy power, Drive Satan before thee, his advocates chase: Or let them adore thee, or yield to thy grace. O pity, and spare, and save them from death, Pluck’d out of his snare, snatch’d out of his teeth; Almighty redeemer, to whom all things bow, Cast down the blasphemer, and rescue them now. O why should he take thy purchase away? Thy fury awake, and fly on the prey; Thy purchase recover, that Satan may feel Thy kingdom is over earth, heaven, and hell. O answer the prayer of prevalent faith, In mercy forbear these children of wrath, And give them repentance, let mercy take place, Reverse the sad sentence, and save them by grace.
