Hymn Book ‎#49

49. Christ, Thou the champion of the band who own

1 Christ, Thou the Champion of the band who own
Thy cross, O make Thy succor quickly known;
The schemes of those who long our blood have
sought
Bring Thou to nought.

2 Do Thou Thyself for us Thy children fight,
Withstand the devil, quell his rage and might;
Whate'er assails Thy members left below,
Do Thou o'erthrow.

3 Peace, O Lord, grant us; peace in church and school,
Peace to the powers who o'er our country rule,
Peace to the conscience, peace within the heart,
Do Thou impart.

4 So shall Thy goodness here be still adored,
Thou Guardian of Thy little flock, dear Lord.
Yea, heaven and earth through all eternity
Shall worship Thee.
