436. Lord, keep us steadfast in your word

1 Lord, keep us steadfast in your word;
curb those who by deceit or sword
would wrest the kingdom from your Son
and bring to nothing all he's done.

2 Lord Jesus Christ, your power make known,
for you are Lord of lords alone;
defend your holy church that we
may sing your praise eternally.

3 O Comforter of priceless worth,
grant one mind to our flock on earth;
support us in our final strife,
and lead us out of death to life.
