a196. Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord!

1 Thine honor rescue, righteous Lord!
Hear Zion’s sighs and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of potent foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.

2 Their craft and vaunting pomp are great;
High beat their herts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride
And deem us nothing in their pride.

3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive.
Show us Thy face and let us live.
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.

4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
Thy holy Church indeed is here.

5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim
Who put'st each enemy to shame;
Dost all their haughtiness suppress,
And help Thine own in their distress.
