Our weakness strengthen and confirm, (for, Lord, thou know'st us frail;)
That neither devil, world, nor flesh, against us may prevail.
Put back our enemy far from us, and help us to obtain
Peace in our hearts with God and man, (the best, the truest gain;)
And grant that thou being, O Lord, our leader and our guide,
We may escape the snares of sin, and never from thee slide.
Such measures of thy powerful grace grant, Lord, to us, we pray;
That thou may'st be our Comforter at the last dreadful day.
Of strife and of dissension dissolve, O Lord, the bands,
And knit the knots of peace and love throughout all Christian lands.
