Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #511 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confirmation First Line: Three things I promise, Holy God Lyrics: 1 Three things I promise, Holy God,
in age and youth, in life and death:
to bless your name, and cling to Christ,
and listen for the Spirit's breath.
2 Your love unfolded time and space,
and life, and all that life became,
and so, with thankful heart and voice,
through good and ill, I bless your name.
3 I follow, serve, and cling to Christ
amid our culture's tides and trends,
for here your name is most revealed:
Majestic Love, and Best of Friends.
4 Enlivened as the Spirit moves
to cleanse, awaken, and renew,
I pray that justice, peace, and truth,
may seed and grow in all I do.
5 If I should live when vigor fades,
and family and friends are gone,
three acts of loving faith remain
when days are slow, and work is done.
6 Revive and guide me, Living God,
as day by day, until my death,
I bless your name, and cling to Christ,
and listen for the Spirit's breath. Scripture: Philippians 4:11-13 Languages: English Tune Title: BLANN
