366. Lord of Our Life

1 Lord of our life and God of our salvation,
Star of our night and hope of ev'ry nation:
Hear and receive your Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.

2 See round your ark the hungry billows curling,
See how your foes their banners are unfurling.
Lord, while their poisoned arrows they are hurling,
You can preserve us.

3 Lord, you can help when earthly armor fails us;
Lord, you can save when deadly sin assails us;
And, in the day when hell itself appalls us,
Grant us your peace, Lord:

4 Peace in our hearts, our troubled thoughts assuaging,
Peace in your Church, where kindred souls are raging,
Peace, when the world its endless war is waging,
Peace in your heaven.
