The powers of darkness fear, When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised! 4 Ye nations of mankind, In this your concord find, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this th'eternal song Through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 5:3 Used With Tune: LAUDES DOMINI Text Sources: German, 19th Century
