624.
God is God before Creation
God is God before Creation,
ere the mountains had their start;
ere in Adam came damnation,
he inscribed me on his heart;
in his Son did he love me,
so that I with him might be
ever as joint-heir included,
such a pact with me concluded.
Help me, God, to always arm me
so I Satan keep at bay,
that he falsely cannot charm me
with the world’s so bright array!
Pray, o Jesus, pray for me
when he draws near secretly
and like wheat would seek to sift me,
so my faith may still uplift me.
