Hymns for the Living Church ‎#395

395. Lord of Our Life, and God of Our Salvation

1 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 Church 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, or, after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven.

Amen.
