| Text: | Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word |
| Author: | Martin Luther |
| Translator: | Catherine Winkworth |
| Tune: | ERHALT UNS, HERR |
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.
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.
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.
Amen.
