O gracious God, in Whom I live
Author: A. Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O gracious God, in Whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid:
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Tho' trembling and afraid.
2 Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
3 Whene'er temptations fright my heart,
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, Thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.
4 Oh, keep me in Thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and Thee.
Amen.

To thy will be all my aim.
2 Gracious God, all thou hast spoken
In this covenant shall take place;
But if I, alas, have broken
These my vows, hide not thy face;
And from falling, and from falling,
O restore me by thy grace! A-men.
3 Help me in this high endeavor,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Bind my heart to thee for ever
Till I join the heavenly host.
Living, dying, living, dying,
Let me make in thee my boast.

O Lord, Our Strength in Weakness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, (1807-1885), a. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Confirmation; Vows Of Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness,
We pray to Thee for grace;
For pow'r to fight the battle,
For speed to run the race;
When Thy baptismal waters
Were poured upon our brow,
We then were made Thy children,
And pledged our earliest vow.
2 We then were sealed and hallowed
By Thy life-giving Word,
Were made the Spirit's temples,
And members of the Lord;
With His own blood He bought us,
And made the purchase sure;
His are we: may He keep us
Forever chaste and pure.
3 Conformed to His own likeness
May we so live and die,
That in the grave our bodies
In holy peace may lie,
And at the resurrection
Forth from those graves may spring
Like to the glorious body
Of Christ, our Lord and King.
4 The pure in heart are blessèd,
For they shall see the Lord
Forever and forever
By Seraphim adored;
And they shall drink the pleasures,
Such as no tongue can tell,
From heaven' crystal river,
And life's eternal well.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Used With Tune: NEED

To yield to His supreme control,
And in His kind commands rejoice.

And give my strength to live Thy praise.
