Chorus

Cleanse us from our sins, we pray, Nor in our last hour fail us. Keep us from the
Evil One; Firm in the faith abiding, In Christ our Savior hiding,
And heartily confiding. Let us put God's armor on: With all true Christians
running Our heav'nly race and shunning The devil's wiles and cunning.
Amen, Amen, this be done, So sing we, Hallelujah!
