262 ~ Lord of Our Life
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
Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth; Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o’er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth; Grant us thy peace, Lord.
3
Peace in our hearts our evil thoughts assuaging; Peace, in thy church, where brothers are engaging; Peace, when the world its busy war is waging; Send us, O Saviour.
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.
