Lyrics
Verse 1
God the Father, be our Stay, when hell's dread pow'rs assail us;
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!
Verse 2
Jesus Christ be Thou our Stay, when hell's dread pow'rs assail us;
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!
Verse 3
Holy Ghost, be Thou our Stay, when hell's dread pow'rs assail us;
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!
1.~Triune God, be Thou our Stay,\ when hell's dread pow'rs assail us;
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!...

More than 500 years ago Martin Luther started a reformation when he posted his 95 thesis to the door of a church in Wittenburg, Germany. To this day, Luther is called the Great Reformer of the Protestant Reformation. Luther is also well remembered for the more than 30 hymns he composed and published, many of which we still sing.
