Text: | Lord, keep us steadfast in thy word |
Author: | Martin Luther, 1483-1546 |
Translator: | Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 |
Tune: | JESU, DULCEDO CORDIUM |
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. A-men.
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.
