And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age

In death it is our stay.

We keep its teachings pure
Throughout all generations. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Used With Tune: REUTER
God's Word Is Our Great Heritage
Our Lord and God, Oh, Bless This Day
Author: Johan N. Brun; George T. Rygh; Carl Döving Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day
And hear us, we implore Thee;
None of Thy children turn away
Who now appear before Thee.
We come before Thy face
And pray: Let Thy rich grace
Descend from heav'n above
In all Thy wondrous love
And keep us by Thy Spirit.
2 Oh, bless Thy Word to all the young;
Let them, Thy truth possessing,
Bear witness true with heart and tongue,
Their faith and ours confessing.
From mother's arms Thy grace
With love did them embrace;
Baptized into Thy name,
As Thine Thou didst them claim.
O Lord, as Thine now own them!
3 When they their vows today renew,
Accept them with Thy favor;
And when they promise to be true,
May they forget it never!
But they are weak and frail
When Satan's hosts assail;
Oh, arm them with Thy might
And grant that in the fight
They unto death be faithful!
4 And when they leave their childhood home,
When Satan comes alluring,
May their baptismal grace become
A refuge reassuring!
Blest he who then can say:
"God's cov'nant stands for aye."
He ne'er shall be undone
Who trusts in God alone--
God is his mighty Father!
Amen. Topics: Confirmation Scripture: Isaiah 54:10 Used With Tune: REUTER
