Verse 1

Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word; Curb those who fain by craft and sword Would wrest the kingdom from Thy Son And set at naught all He hath done.

Verse 2

Lord Jesus Christ, Thy pow'r make known, For Thou art Lord of lords alone; Defend Thy Christendom that we May evermore sing praise to Thee.

Verse 3

O Comforter of priceless worth, Send peace and unity on earth. Support us in our final strife And lead us out of death to life.
