by Franz, Ignaz (1719-1790), tr. Walworth, Clarence Alphonsus (1820-1900)

Song Lyrics

1. God the Fa- ther, be our Stay, When hell's dread pow'rs as- sail us; Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, Nor in our last hour fail us. Keep us from the E- vil One; Firm in the faith a- bid- ing, In Christ our Sa- vior hid- ing, And heart- i- ly con- fid- ing. Let us put God's ar- mor on: With all true Christ- ians run- ning Our heav'n- ly race and shun- ning The de- vil's wiles and cun- ning. A- men, A- men, this be done, So sing we, Hal- le- lu- jah!

2. Je- sus Christ be Thou our Stay,

3. Ho- ly Ghost, be Thou our Stay,

4. 1(alt). Tri- une God, be Thou our Stay,
