O thou who camest from above

kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.

with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me:

my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Enlivening and Renewing the Chruch; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; Confirmation; Devotion Used With Tune: HEREFORD

Oh, for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,374 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:9 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O Holy Dove! return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Holy Spirit name and images for; Penitence Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

to be a pilgrim.

with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;

but he will have a right
to be a pilgrim.

can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.

he'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Conflict; Courage; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: MONK'S GATE

And praise to God alone.

And, walking in their footsteps,
Would live our lives for You.

Named You Messiah true.

to You throughout the year,
Confess to friend and neighbor
Your advent ever near.

True man, yet God and Lord.

And faith as sure as theirs.

With Your almighty arm.

Shine Thou upon Us, Lord
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Shine thou upon us, Lord,
true light of men, today,
and through the written Word
thy very self display,
that so from hearts which burn
with gazing on thy face
thy little ones may learn
the wonders of thy grace.
2 Breathe thou upon us, Lord,
thy Spirit's living flame,
that so with one accord
our lips may tell thy name.
Give thou the hearing ear,
fix thou the wand'ring thought,
that those we teach may hear
the great things thou hast wrought.
3 Speak thou for us, O Lord,
in all we say of thee;
according to thy Word
let all our teaching be,
that so thy lambs may know
their own true Shepherd's voice,
where'er he leads them go,
and in his love rejoice.
4 Live thou within us, Lord;
thy mind and will be ours;
be thou belov'd, adored,
and served with all our pow'rs,
that so our lives may teach
thy children what thou art,
and plead, by more than speech,
for thee with ev'ry heart.
