Trinity Hymnal ‎#91

91. 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;
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.

Amen.
