Low before Thy footstool bending—

Since on earth I still must stay,

In Thy Church still wage my war,

Drive, good Lord, my foes afar.

In the strife the conquest send me

Over hell, the world, and sin;

With Thy grace, O Lord, defend me,

When temptation’s storms begin:

All my dangers bear me through,

Lord, my Rock, my Saviour true!
