God, the Father, with us be
Translated by George MacDonald (Rampolli, 1897) · From Luther's Song-Book (Rampolli, 1897)
God, the Father, with us be,
Let us not fall to badness;
Make us from all sinning free,
And help us die in gladness.
‘Gainst the devil well us ware,
And keep our faith from failing,
Our hope in thee from quailing.
Our hearts upon thee staying,
Make us wholly trust thy care!
Us, with good Christians sharing,
Save from the devil snaring,
Him with God’s weapons daring.
Amen! well now may we fare!
Now sing we Halleluja!
Jesus, Master, with us be,
Let us not fall to badness; &c.
Holy Spirit, with us be,
Let us not fall to badness; &c.
