Translations. - A Children'S Song, To Sing Against The Two Archenemies Of Christ And His Holy Church, The Pope And The Turks. (Luther's Song-Book.)

Topics: classic

Lord, keep us by thy word in hope,     And check the murder of Turk and Pope,     Who Jesus Christ, thine only Son,     Would fain from off thy throne cast down.     Proof of thy strength, Lord Christ, afford,     For thou of all the lords art Lord;     Thy own poor Christendom defend,     That it may praise thee without end.     God Holy Ghost, who Comfort art,     Give to thy folk on earth one heart;     Stand by us breathing our last breath;     Into life lead us out of death.
