Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #155a (1958) Lyrics: 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.
