Original text and translations

English text

Give peace in these our days, O, God,
great dangers are now at hand,
thine enemies with one accord,
Christ's name in every land,
seek to deface root out and race,
thy true right worship indeed,
be thou the stay, Lord, we thee pray,
thou helpst alone in all need.
