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 nought all he has done.

2 Lord Jesus Christ, your pow'r make known,
For you are Lord of lords alone;
Defend your holy Church that we
May sing your praise triumphantly.

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.
