Representative Text

1 Behold os, Herre, ved dit Ord!
Styr Pavens Løgn og Tyrkens Mord,
Som Jesus Christ, vor Frelsermand,
Vil styrte fra din høire Haand!

2 Bevis din magt, o Jesu Christ!
Du alle Herrers Herre est,
Beskjærm din arme Christenhed,
At den dig prise maa i Fred!

3 Gud Helligaand, sand TrOstermand,
Giv alt dit Folk en ret Forstand!
Staa med os i vor sidste Nød,
Led os til Livet ind fra Død!

4 Kuldkast du dine Fienders Raab!
Dem ramme selv den onde Daab!
Og styrt dem selv i Graven ned,
De grave til din Christenhed!

5 Saa faa de komme det ihu,
Du, Herre, lever dog endnu,
Og hjælper Dine vældelig,
Som sig forlade vil paa dig.
