O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-1874 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #672b (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway,
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 O let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end:
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend.
5 O let me see thy foot-marks,
and in them plant mine own;
my hope to follow duly
is in thy strength alone;
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my friend. Languages: English Tune Title: WOLVERCOTE
O Jesus, I have promised
Once pledged by the cross, as children of God
Author: Alice Mary Bode, 1849-?? Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #673 (2010) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Once pledged by the cross, as children of God,
to tread in the steps your captain has trod,
now, sealed by the spirit of wisdom and might,
go forward, Christ’s soldiers, go forward and fight!
2 Your weapons of war are sent from above:
the Spirit’s good sword, the breastplate of love;
your feet with the Gospel of peace be well shod;
put on the whole armour, the armour of God.
3 Full well do ye know the foe must be met
full well do ye feel that Satan has set
his powers of darkness in battle array;
but those who are for you are stronger than they.
4 The fight may be long, but triumph is sure,
and rest comes at last to those who endure:
the rest that remaineth, the victory won,
and (dearer than all things) your Captain’s 'Well done!'
5 Then, on to the fight ’gainst sin and the world!
stand fast in his strength, his banner unfurled;
and, sealed by the Spirit of wisdom and might,
go forward, Christ’s soldiers, go forward and fight! Scripture: Ephesians 6:11 Languages: English Tune Title: PADERBORN

Saviour, while my heart is tender
Author: John Burton, Jr., 1803-1877 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #674 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Saviour, while my heart is tender,
I would yield that heart to thee,
all my powers to thee surrender,
thine, and only thine, to be.
2 Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me;
let my youthful heart be thine;
thy devoted servant make me;
fill my soul with love divine.
3 Send me, Lord, where thou wilt send me,
only do thou guide my way;
may thy grace through life attend me,
gladly then shall I obey.
4 Let me do thy will or bear it;
I would know no will but thine;
should'st thou take my life or spare it,
I that life to thee resign.
5 Thine I am, O Lord, forever,
to thy service set apart;
suffer me to leave thee never;
seal thine image on my heart. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL FOR JESUS

let no-one tear apart!
With his two servants here today
may Christ's own love for ever stay,
true bond of mind and heart;
true bond of mind and heart.

may steadfastness be their!
God's truth and kindness grace their home,
his presence fill the humblest room,
his Spirit stir their prayers;
his Spirit stir their prayers.
4 With brightened eyes of faith we'll see
God's plan for them made plain:
so shall our hearts together be
uplifted in the Trinity
and echo the amen;
and echo the amen.

O Father all creating
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #680 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Matrimony Lyrics: 1 O Father all creating,
whose wisdom, love, and power
first bound two lives together
in Eden’s primal hour,
today to these thy children
thine earliest gifts renew -
a home by thee made happy,
a love by thee kept true.
2 O Saviour, guest most bounteous
of old in Galilee,
vouchsafe today thy presence
with these who call on thee;
their store of earthly gladness
transform to heavenly wine,
and teach them, in the tasting,
to know the gift is thine.
3 O Spirit of the Father,
breathe on them from above,
so mighty in thy pureness,
so tender in thy love;
that guarded by thy presence,
from sin and strife kept free,
their lives may own thy guidance,
their hearts be ruled by thee.
4 Except thou build it, Father,
the house is built in vain;
except thou, Saviour, bless it,
the joy will turn to pain;
but nought can break the marriage
of hearts in thee made one,
and love thy Spirit hallows
is endless love begun. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE (SMART)

Author: Dorothy Frances Gurney, 1858-1932 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #681 (2010) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Matrimony Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom thou for evermore dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be thou their full assurance
of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope, and quiet brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow,
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife;
and to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life. Scripture: Tobit 8:5-8 Languages: English Tune Title: O PERFECT LOVE
O perfect Love, all human thought transcending
O thou who gavest power to love
Author: Mandell Creighton, 1843-1901 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #682 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Matrimony Lyrics: 1 O thou who gavest power to love
that we might fix our hearts on thee,
preparing us for joys above
by that which here on earth we see;
2 thy Spirit trains our souls to know
the growing purpose of thy will,
and gives to love the power to show
that purpose growing larger still:
3 larger, as love to reverent eyes
makes manifest another soul,
and shows to life a richer prize,
a clearer course, a nobler goal.
4 Lord, grant thy servants who implore
thy blessing on the hearts they blend,
that from that union evermore
new joys may blossom to the end.
5 Make what is best in each combine
to purge all earthly dross away,
to strengthen, purify, refine,
to beautify each coming day.
6 So may they hand in hand advance
along life’s path from troubles free;
brave to meet adverse circumstance
because their love points up to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
O thou who gavest power to love
This is my will, my one command
Author: James Quinn, 1919- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #684 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Matrimony Lyrics: 1 This is my will, my one command,
that love should dwell among you all.
This is my will, that you should love
as I have shown that I love you.
2 No greater love a man can have
than that he die to save his friends.
You are my friends if you obey
all I command that you should do.
3 I call you now no longer slaves;
no slave knows all his master does.
I call you friends, for all I hear
my Father say you hear from me.
4 You chose not me, but I chose you,
that you should go and bear much fruit.
I called you out that you in me
should bear much fruit that will abide.
5 All that you ask my Father dear
for my name's sake you shall receive.
This is my will, my one command,
that love should dwell in each, in all. Languages: English Tune Title: SUANTRAI
This is my will, my one command
