The welfare of their souls but ill
They serve who leave the Master,
Deserting His true fold at will,
In quest of other pasture.
All planting not ordained by God
Forthwith shall be uprooted;
That growth encumbers but the sod
Which to no use is suited.
God’s Word shall stand forevermore,
A safe and sure foundation;
Who builds on it shall live secure
Through storm and tribulation.
Now thanks and praise be to our Lord,
Who boundless grace bestoweth,
And daily through the sacred Word
His precious gifts forthshoweth.
His Word is come to light again,
A trusty lamp to guide us;
No strange and divers teachings then
Shall wilder and divide us.
So let us wander in His light
Through whom the light was given,
That we may always walk aright
And find the path to heaven.
To traps and snares he falls a prey
Who walks in darksome places,
While on the straight and narrow way
Shine all the heavenly graces.
Olavus Petri. 5.
