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.
