354. Lord God, who art my Father dear

1 LORD GOD, who art my Father dear,
I pray in Jesus' name; O hear
What, trusting in His promised word,
I humbly ask of Thee, good Lord.

2 Grant us Thy Word, Thy Spirit give,
That by His grace we godly live,
Give shelter, peace, good friends, and food,
Protect our native land, O God.

3 Save us from sin and Satan's fraud,
Deliver us from evil, God,
Be with us in our dying hour;
Thine is the kingdom, glory, power.

4 Lord, at Thy word, Amen, I say;
Increase my feeble faith, I pray.
Thou lead'st me with a Father's care,
O let me be Thy child and heir!
