O Lord, the world is turned upside down,
Good is called evil throughout the town.
Evil they praise and set on high throne,
Light they name dark, and sweet they call stone.
Yet we look up from this shadowed strife,
To Thee, our hope, our very life.
Thy Holy Word stands firm and true,
Our anchor sure when all is askew.
As we hold fast to what is right,
Our souls are filled with victory’s light.
For who o’ercomes this world’s dark sway?
The one who trusts in Christ each day.
Who believes that Jesus is Lord divine,
In Him the victory is thine and mine.
So here we stand, through storm and flame,
Believing still in Thy great name.
Today, tomorrow, till time shall cease,
We rest in Thee—our joy, our peace.
Through endless ages, our vow shall ring:
We believe in Thee, eternal King.
Amen.
