Hold oppe Gud hos os dit ord

Representative Text

1 Hold oppe, Gud, hos os dit Ord
Lad det faa Overmagt paa Jord
Mod dem, som Krist, din Søn, vor Sol,
Vil støde fra hans Kongestol!

2 Lad sees, Herre Krist dit Værk,
At du er fremfor alle stærk,
Forsvar din arme Kristenhed
Dit Navn til Pris i Evighed!

3 Gud Helligaand, du Trøster sand,
Giv enig Tro i alle Land!
Staa med os i vor sidste Nød,
Giv os i Gud en salig Død!
