Original Tune.
Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort
Luther, 1542
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 nought all He hath done. | Lord Jesu Christ, Thy power make known, For Thou art Lord of lords alone; Defend Thy Christendom, that we May evermore sing praise to Thee. | 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. | |
