Deliver us from Evil

Peter Cornelius

Holy love enflame our hearts

Will o'er all the world succeed,

That all souls who wait on Thee

Shining with Thy love may be.

Father, who the Son has sent,

T'ward the heavenly path to lead us,

Save us from the evil one

Through Thy love.

Holy faith, upon the cross,

All our lives, oh be Thou near,

Though the storm winds wildly rave,

Safe with Thee we have no fear.

Son, through whom our God we know,

Guide us by the dangerous reef,

Save us from the evil one,

Through belief.

Sacred hope, O anchor Thou,

Sinking deep within our hearts,

For our combat, give Thy peace,

And in rapture heal afflictions,

Soul of comfort be Thou still

As Thou shows the way of heaven,

Save us from the evil one

Through our hope.
