Text: | Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word |
Author: | Martin Luther |
Translator: | Catherine Winkworth |
Tune: | ERHALT UNS, HERR |
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 naught 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.
