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!

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!
