Author: Ludwig Helmbold, 1532-98; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #865 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Service Book Lyrics: 1 Lord, help us ever to retain
The Catechism's doctrine plain
As Luther taught the Word of truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 Help us Your holy Law to learn,
To mourn our sin and from it turn
In faith to You and to Your Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Your children we may live,
Whom You baptized and so received.
4 Lord, when we fall or go astray,
Absolve and lift us up, we pray;
And through the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.
