Verse 1
We now implore God the Holy Ghost For the
true faith, which we need the most, That in our last
moments He may befriend us And, as homeward
we journey, attend us. Lord, have mercy.
Verse 2
Shine in our hearts, O most precious Light, That we
Jesus Christ may know aright, Clinging to our
Savior, whose blood hath bought us. Who again to
our homeland hath brought us. Lord, have mercy.
Verse 3
Thou sacred Love, grace on us bestow, Set our
hearts with heav'nly fire aglow That with hearts united
nited we love each other, Of one mind, in
peace with ev'ry brother. Lord, have mercy!
Verse 4
Thou highest Comfort in ev'ry need, Grant that
neither shame nor death we heed, That e'en then our
courage may never fail us When the Foe shall
accuse and assail us. Lord, have mercy!
