Lord, grant that we e'er pure retain The catechismal doctrine plain As Luther taught the heavenly truth In simple words to tender youth. That we Thy holy Law may know And mourn our sin and all its woe, And yet believe in Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One. That we on Thee, our Father, call, Who canst and wilt give help to all; That as Thy children we may live, Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive. That, if we fall, we rise again, Repentingly confess our sin, And take the Sacrament in faith;-- Amen. God grant a happy death!
