Lo the storms of life are breaking
Faithless fears our hearts are shaking
For our succor undertaking
Lord and savior, help us!

Lo! The world from thee rebelling
Round thy church in pride is swelling
With thy word their madness quelling
Lord and savior, help us!

By thy birth, thy cross, and passion
By thy tears of deep compassion
By thy mighty intercession
Lord and savior, help us!

On thine own command relying
We our onward task are plying
Unto thee for safety sighing
Lord and savior, help us!

By thy birth, thy cross, and passion
By thy tears of deep compassion
By thy mighty intercession
Lord and savior, help us!
