At first we sing verses 1 and 4 from the hymn Jumala ompi linnamme

1. Jumala ompi linnamme
ja vahva turva aivan,
on miekkamme ja kilpemme
ajalla vaaran, vaivan.
Se vanha vainooja,
kavala, kauhea,
on kiivas, kiukkuinen
ja julma, hirmuinen.
Vain Herra hänet voittaa.

4. Se sana seisoo vahvana,
ne ei voi sitä kestää.
Kun kanssamme on Jumala,
ken meiltä voiton estää?
Jos veis he henkemme,
osamme, onnemme,
ne heidän olkohon,
vaan meidän iät on
Jumalan valtakunta.
