Throughout the earth no rest is found, and falsehood's spirit wide has spread, and error boldly rears its head. 4 Lord Jesus, help, your Church uphold, for we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold. O prosper well your Word of grace and spread its truth in ev'ry place. 5 O keep us in your Word, we pray; the guile and rage of Satan stay. Oh, may your mercy never cease; give concord, patience, courage, peace. 6 A trusty weapon is your Word, the Church's armor, shield, and sword. O let us in its pow'r confide that we may seek no other guide. 7 O grant that in your holy Word we here may live and die, dear Lord; and when our journey's ending here, receive us into glory there.
