| Text: | Lord of our life, and God of our salvation |
| Tune: | LORD OF OUR LIFE |
| Composer: | J. Crüger |
1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and Hope of every nation,
Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth,
Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth,
Lord, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth:
Grant us Thy peace, Lord:
3 Peace in the land--from foeman's sword deliver,
Peace in the church--let brethren naught dissever;
Peace in the heart and conscience now and ever
Grant us, O Saviour!
4 Grant us Thy help till Thy foes back are driven,
Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven,
Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven.
