Author: Dr. M. Luther; Dr. J. Jonas Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #18 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work,
restrain the murderous Pope and Turk,
who fain would tear from off Thy throne
Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known,
For Thou art Lord of lords alone;
Shield Thy poor Christendom, that we
May evermore sing praise to Thee.
3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth
Give one mind to Thy flock on earth,
Stand by us in our final strife,
And lead us out of death to life.
4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God,
And smite them with an iron rod,
And let them fall into the snare
Which for Thy Christians they prepare.
5 So that at last they may perceive
That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live,
And dost deliver mightily
All those who put their trust in Thee. Topics: The Church Year Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work]
