167b. Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word

1 Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word;
Curb those who fain by craft or sword
Would wrest the kingdom from Thy Son,
And bring to naught all He hath done.

2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known,
For Thou are Lord of lords alone;
Defend Thy Christendom, that we
May evermore sing praise to Thee.

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.

Amen.
