1 God the Father, be our Stay,
When hell's dread powers assail us;
Cleanse us from our sins, we pray,
Nor in our last hour fail us.
Keep us from the Evil One:
Firm in the faith abiding,
In Christ our Savior hiding,
And heartily confiding.
Let us put God's armor on:
With all true Christians running
Our heavenly race, and shunning
The Devil's wiles and cunning.
Amen, Amen, this be done,
So sing we Hallelujah!

2 Jesus Christ, be Thou our Stay,
When hell's dread powers assail us;
Cleanse us from our sins, we pray,
Nor in our last hour fail us.
Keep us from the Evil One:
Firm in the faith abiding,
In Christ our Savior hiding,
And heartily confiding.
Let us put God's armor on:
With all true Christians running
Our heavenly race, and shunning
The Devil's wiles and cunning.
Amen, Amen, this be done,
So sing we Hallelujah!

3 Holy Ghost, be Thou our Stay,
When hell's dread powers assail us;
Cleanse us from our sins, we pray,
Nor in our last hour fail us.
Keep us from the Evil One:
Firm in the faith abiding,
In Christ our Savior hiding,
And heartily confiding.
Let us put God's armor on:
With all true Christians running
Our heavenly race, and shunning
The Devil's wiles and cunning.
Amen, Amen, this be done,
So sing we Hallelujah!
