Of course you're right, both about how it's surprising that Styx has so few comments and about this song's meaning. And the Latin phrase (I very recently learned that this was what the jumble at the song's beginning was in reverse) means something to the tune of "God has been with us through our undertakings."
It really pisses me off that people have so often accused Styx of being Antichristian rockers, they having written this well-meaning song with such a nice, Christian message at the beginning. Hell, they even wrote Show Me the Way way back when, which could easily be passed of as a contemporary Christian song. I'm pro Styx all the way, man.
