Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star
of our night, and Hope of every nation,
Hear
and receive thy church’s supplication,
Lord
God Almighty.
2
Lord,
Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth;
Lord,
Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Lord,
o’er Thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant
us Thy peace, Lord.
3
Peace,
in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace,
in Thy church, where brothers are engaging,
Peace,
when the world its busy war is waging;
Calm
thy foes raging!
4
Grant
us Thy help till backward they are driven;
Grant
them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant
peace on earth, and after we have striven,
Peace
in Thy heaven.
