<p>Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,<br>
For round us falls the eventide;<br>
Nor let Thy Word, that heav&#8217;nly light,<br>
For us be ever veiled in night.</p>
<p>In these last days of sore distress<br>
Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness<br>
That pure we keep, till life is spent,<br>
Thy holy Word and sacrament.</p>
<p>Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold,<br>
For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold.<br>
Oh, prosper well Thy Word of grace<br>
And spread its truth in every place!</p>
<p>Oh, keep us in Thy Word, we pray;<br>
The guile and rage of Satan stay!<br>
Oh, may Thy mercy never cease!<br>
Give concord, patience, courage, peace.</p>
<p>O God, how sin&#8217;s dread works abound!<br>
Throughout the earth no rest is found,<br>
And falsehood&#8217;s spirit wide has spread,<br>
And error boldly rears its head.</p>
<p>The haughty spirits, Lord, restrain<br>
Who o&#8217;er Thy Church with might would reign<br>
And always set forth something new,<br>
Devised to change Thy doctrine true.</p>
<p>And since the cause the glory, Lord,<br>
Are Thine, not ours, to us afford<br>
Thy help and strength and constancy,<br>
With all our heart we trust in Thee.</p>
<p>A trusty weapon is Thy Word,<br>
Thy Church&#8217;s buckler, shield, and sword.<br>
Oh, let us in its power confide<br>
That we may seek no other guide!</p>
<p>Oh, grant that in Thy holy Word<br>
We here may live and die, dear Lord;<br>
And when our journey endeth here,<br>
Receive us into glory there.</p>
