84 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

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 See round Thine Ark the hungry billows curling; See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling; Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth; Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er Thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us Thy peace, Lord. 4 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 Savior. 5 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.
