We now implore God the Holy Ghost
For the true faith,
which we need the most,
That in our last moments
He may befriend us
And, as homeward
we journey, attend us.
Lord, have mercy.
Shine in our hearts,
O most precious Light,
That we Jesus Christ may know aright,
Clinging to our Savior,
whose blood hath bought us.
Who again to our homeland
hath brought us.
Lord, have mercy.
Thou sacred Love,
grace on us bestow,
Set our hearts
with heavenly fire aglow
That with hearts united
we love each other,
Of one mind, in peace
with every brother.
Lord, have mercy!
Thou highest Comfort in every need,
Grant that neither shame
nor death we heed,
That e'en then our courage
may never fail us
When the Foe shall accuse
and assail us.
Lord, have mercy!
