Mighty Lord, preserve us from jeopardy. Take Thee now our faith and loud crying in penitence. Grant victory o'er our treacherous and cruel enemies And to our land bring peace. O mighty Lord hear our lowly prayer, And by Thy shining holy light. Grant us, O Lord, peace again. O mighty Lord hear our prayer and save our people Forever, forever!
