Author: Johan N. Brun, 1745-1816; George A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #599 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day
And hear us, we implore you;
None of your children turn away
Who now appear before you.
We come before your face
And pray: let your rich grace
Descend from heav'n above
In all your wondrous love,
And keep us by your Spirit.
2 Oh, bless your Word to all the young;
Let them, your truth possessing,
Bear witness true with heart and tongue,
Their faith and ours confessing.
From mother's arms your grace
With love did them embrace.
Baptized into your name,
As yours you did them claim;
O Lord, as yours now own them!
3 And when they leave their childhood home,
When Satan comes alluring,
May their baptismal grace become
A refuge reassuring.
God's covenant is sure;
His promises endure.
They ne'er shall be undone
Who trust in God alone --
God is their mighty Father! Topics: Confirmation; Confirmation Languages: English Tune Title: REUTER
