1 Thine honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of mighty foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.
Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford;
Destroy the wiles of mighty foes,
Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.
2 Their craft and vaunting pomp is great;
High beat their hearts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride,
And deem us nothing in their pride.
High beat their hearts, with power elate;
Our dearest hopes they but deride,
And deem us nothing in their pride.
3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive,
Grant us Thy grace and let us live;
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.
Grant us Thy grace and let us live;
Convince Thy foes throughout the land
That godless counsels shall not stand.
4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
That Thy true Church indeed is here.
Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
Let it to all the world appear
That Thy true Church indeed is here.
