Author: Philip Pusey, 1799-1855; Matthäus A. von Löwenstern, 1594-1648 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #786 (1969) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life and God of our salvation,
Star of our night and Hope of every nation,
Hear and receive thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round thine ark the hungry billows curling;
See how thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth,
Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Christ, o'er thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging;
Peace in thy Church, where brothers are engaging;
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging:
Calm thy foes' raging.
5 Grant us thy help till backward they are driven,
Grant them thy truth that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,
Peace in thy heaven. Amen.
Amen. Topics: The Nation Peace Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR
