Christ Thou the champion of that war-worn host
Who bear Thy cross, haste, help, or we are lost;
The schemes of those who long our blood have sought
Bring Thou to nought.
Do Thou Thyself for us Thy children fight,
Withstand the devil, quell his rage and might,
Whate'er assails Thy members left below
Do Thou o'erthrow.
And give us peace; peace in the church and school,
Peace to the powers who o'er our country rule,
Peace to the conscience, peace within the heart,
Do Thou impart.
So shall Thy goodness here be still adored,
Thou guardian of Thy little flock, dear Lord,
And heaven and earth through all eternity
Shall worship Thee.
