With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying bed. 4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure, Keep us evermore Thine own; Help, oh, help us to endure; Fit us for the promised crown. 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings.
