Lord of Our Life, and God of Our Salvation

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.

See round Thine ark the hun­gry bil­lows curl­ing!

See how Thy foes their ban­ners are un­furl­ing!

Lord

while their darts en­ven­omed they are hurl­ing

Thou canst pre­serve us.

Lord

Thou canst help when earth­ly ar­mor fail­eth;

Lord

Thou canst save when sin it­self as­sail­eth;

Lord

o’er Thy rock nor death nor hell pre­vail­eth;

Grant us Thy peace

Lord.

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!

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.
