Text:Lord, Keep us Steadfast in Thy Word
Author:Martin Luther
Tune:WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTHEN SEIN

E4. Lord, Keep us Steadfast in Thy Word

1 Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word:
Curb those who fain by craft or 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;
ForThou art Lord of lords alone:
Defend Thy Christendom, that we
May evermore sing praise to Thee.

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.
