American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#29

29. Lord, Keep Us Steadfast In Thy Word

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

2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy pow'r make known,
For Thou art Lord of lords alone;
Protect Thy Church from perils sore
That we may laud Thee evermore.

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.
