O God, in Whose all-searching eye
Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O God, in Whose all-searching eye
Thy servants stand, to ratify
The vow baptismal, by them made,
When first Thy hand was on them laid;
Bless them, O Holy Father, bless,
Who Thee, with heart and voice confess;
May they, acknowledged as Thine own,
Stand evermore before Thy throne.
2 O Christ, Who didst at Pentecost
Send down from heaven the Holy Ghost;
And at Samaria baptize
Those whom Thou didst evangelize;
And then on Thy baptized confer
The best of gifts, the Comforter,
By apostolic hands, and prayer;
Be with us now, as Thou wert there.
3 Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord,
With shield of faith, and Spirit's sword;
Forth to the battle may they go,
And boldly fight against the foe,
With banner of the cross unfurled,
And by it overcome the world;
And so at last receive from Thee
The palm and crown of victory.
4 Come, ever blessèd Spirit, come,
And make Thy servant's hearts Thy home;
Thus consecrated, Lord, to Thee,
May each a living temple be.
Enrich that temple's holy shrine
With sevenfold gifts of grace divine;
With wisdom, light, and knowledge, bless,
Strength, counsel, fear, and godliness.
Amen.

Jesus, now Thine own forever
Author: A. Ramsey; K. J. P. Spitta Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Jesus, now Thine own forever,
True and steadfast would I be;
And be parted from Thee never,
Walking day by day with Thee.
Thine the life that in me liveth,
All my strength by Thee supplied,
As the vine its vigor giveth
To the branches that abide.
2 Could aught better e'er betide me,
Than with Thee to have my place,
Who dost evermore provide me
Thrice ten thousand gifts of grace?
Could I be more cheerful even
Than when Thou, O Christ, art near,
Unto whom all power is given
Both in heaven above and here?
3 Where is there a Lord so gracious
Who would do as Thou hast done;
Who with His own blood and precious
Me from sin and death hath won?
Should I not be His possession
Who gave up His life for me;
Make to Him a good confession,
And till death all faithful be?
4 Lord, in pleasure as in sorrow
Thy companion would I be;
Now and for my each tomorrow
I surrender all to Thee.
Make me quick when Thou dost beckon,
E'en though 'twere to call me hence;
Who His life as Thine doth reckon,
Waits e'en death in confidence.
5 Through my earthly life be near me,
Be Thou with me when it ends;
When the evening gathers, cheer me;
Bless me when the night descends.
Lay Thy holy hand in blessing
On my weary, drooping head;
Tell me:--Child, all faith possessing,
Thou shalt live though thou wert dead.
6 Stay Thou with me, O Lord Jesus,
When cold death at last comes on
As the chill and piercing breezes
Just before the heavenly dawn.
Light my heart nor suffer sadness
When the darkness dims my sight;
Then shall I go forth with gladness
As one journeys home at night.
Jesus, now Thine own forever

For love and faithfulness,
Thy love is far exceeding
The love that I confess;

On thy eternal promise;

Each lowly, bending head;
Each heart, thy love confessing,
Shall by that hand be led;
I therefore sing my praise to thee
In strains of Alleluia,
In joyful melody. A-men.
3 I praise thee, Alleluia,
For what thy hand has brought!

For what thy Spirit wrought!
I praise thee with the saints above
For every mercy given,
For faith and hope and love.

Our way of living far above,
Be yond the reaches of our minds:
We cannot understand; we love.

The cherished treasures from the past,
We lay before your feet, O Lord:
Cleanse, use them, make them yours at last.

Whose revelations never cease,
Whose love and truth are ever new,
And in whose service is our peace.
