| Text: | Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word |
| Author: | Martin Luther |
| Translator: | Miss Catherine Winkworth |
| Tune: | ERHALT UNS, HERR, BEI DEINEM WORT |
1 Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word;
Curb those who fain by craft or sword
Would wrest the kingdom from Thy Son,
And set at naught all He hath done.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power 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.
