Words

  1. 1God 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!
  2. 2Jesus Christ be Thou our Stay,
  3. 3Holy Ghost, be Thou our Stay,
  4. 41(alt). Triune God, be Thou our Stay,
