star of our night and hope of ev'ry nation:
hear and receive your church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round your ark the hungry billows curling,
see how your foes their banners are unfurling.
Lord, while their poisoned arrows they are hurling,
you can preserve us.
3 Lord, you can help when earthly armor fails us;
Lord, you can save when deadly sin assails us;
and, in the day when hell itself appalls us,
grant us your peace, Lord:
4 Peace in our hearts, our troubled thoughts assuaging,
peace in your church, where kindred souls are raging,
peace, when the world its endless war is waging,
peace in your heaven. Topics: Trust, Guidance; Community in Christ; Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR
