	THINE honor rescue, Christ our Lord!
	Hear Zion's sighs, and help afford;
	Destroy the wiles of mighty foes,
	Who now Thy Word and Truth oppose.
	
	2.  Their craft and vaunting pomp is great;
	High beat their hearts, with power elate;
	Our dearest hopes they but deride,
	They deem us nothing in their pride.
	
	3.  Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive,
	Grant us Thy grace and let us live;
	Convince Thy foes throughout the land
	That godless counsels shall not stand.
	
	4.  Preserve Thy little flock in peace,
	Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease;
	Let it to all the world appear
	That Thy true Church indeed is here.
	
	5.  That Thou art with us, loud proclaim,
	Who put'st our enemies to shame,
	Dost all their haughtiness suppress,
	And help Thine own in their distress.
