Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Together in Song #436 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 John 3:14-17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us steadfast in your word;
curb those who by deceit or sword
would wrest the kingdom from your Son
and bring to nothing all he's done.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, your power make known,
for you are Lord of lords alone;
defend your holy church that we
may sing your praise eternally.
3 O Comforter of priceless worth,
grant one mind to our flock on earth;
support us in our final strife,
and lead us out of death to life.
