O God, who once in ages past
Savedst from the fierce Red Sea
And Ramses’ chariots following fast
Thy sons who sang to Thee:
Turn Thee again, Lord of the Saints,
Unto our suppliant side,
Who humbly beg Thy help against
Those who Thy faith deride.
’Gainst those who that pure faith can turn
To dogma harsh and strict,
From which all who its errors spurn
Are cast off derelict;
We, as our fathers prayed before,
Fighting for faith and home,
Beseech Thee for Thy help once more
Against the wiles of Rome.
