Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

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.

4.

Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven;

Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;

Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,

Peace in Thy heaven.
