2. O Lord, let this Thy little flock, 
Thy name alone confessing, 
Continue in Thy loving care, 
True unity possessing. 
Thy Sacraments, O Lord, 
And Thy saving Word 
To us e’er pure retain. 
Grant that they may remain 
Our only strength and comfort. 

4. And for Thy Gospel let us dare 
To sacrifice all treasure; 
Teach us to bear Thy blessed cross, 
To find in Thee all pleasure. 
Oh, grant us steadfastness 
In joy and distress, 
That we Thee ne’er forsake. 
Let us by grace partake 
Of endless joy and glory.
