Thine Honor Save

Verse 1

Thine honor save, O Christ, our Lord! Hear Zion’s cries and help afford; Destroy the wiles of mighty foes Who now Thy Word and truth oppose.

Verse 2

Their craft and pomp indeed are great, And of their power they boast and prate; Our hope they scornfully deride And deem us nothing in their pride.

Verse 3

Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive. Grant us Thy grace and let us live. Convince Thy foes throughout the land That godless counsels shall not stand.

Verse 4

That Thou art with us, Lord, proclaim And put our enemies to shame; Confound them in their haughtiness And help Thine own in their distress.

Verse 5

Preserve Thy little flock in peace, Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease; To all the world let it appear That Thy true Church indeed is here.
