Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#275

275. Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!

1 Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of mighty foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.

2 Their craft and vaunting pomp is great;
High beat their hearts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride,
And deem us nothing in their pride.

3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive,
Grant us Thy grace and let us live;
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.

4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
That Thy true Church indeed is here.

5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim,
Who put'st each enemy to shame,
Dost all their haughtiness suppress.
And help Thine own in their distress.
