Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Acts of the Church Confirmation; Christian Year Advent; Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O living light of God,
Upon the world's dark hour!
Show us the way the Master trod;
Reveal his saving power.
2 Remove the veil of ancient words,
With message long obscure;
Restore to us your truth, O God,
And make its meaning sure.
3 Show us the prophets and the priests,
The kings, the common men,
Who kept the faith and walked with you;
O make them live again!
4 O let your Word be light anew
To every nation's life;
Unite us in your will, O Lord,
And end all sinful strife.
5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word,
One Spirit lead us still;
And one great church go forth in might
To work God's perfect will.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

Lord God, the Spirit blest
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 271 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Service Lyrics: 1 Lord God, the Spirit blest,
in this accepted hour,
as on the day of Pentecost,
descend with all your power;
we meet with one accord
in this your holy place,
and wait the promise of our Lord,
the Spirit of all grace.
3 Like mighty rushing wind
upon the waves beneath,
move with one impulse every mind,
one soul, one feeling breathe:
the young, the old inspire
with wisdom from above;
and give us hearts and tongues of fire
to pray, and praise, and love.
5 Spirit of light! explore,
and chase our gloom away,
with lustre shining more and more
towards the perfect day:
Spirit of truth! alone
in life and death our guide;
come, Spirit of adoption! now
may we be sanctified. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Used With Tune: VENICE

Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 892 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Service Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through his eternal Son;
strong in the Lord of Hosts,
and in his mighty power,
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.
2 Stand then in his great might,
with all his strength endued;
and take, to arm you for the fight,
the panoply of God;
that, having all things done,
and all your conflicts passed,
you may o'ercome through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last.
3 Stand then against your foes,
in close and firm array;
legions of wily fiends oppose
throughout the evil day:
but meet the sons of night,
and mock their vain design
armed in the arms of heavenly light,
of righteousness divine.
4 Leave no unguarded place,
no weakness of the soul;
take every virtue, every grace,
and fortify the whole;
in him for ever joined,
to battle all proceed;
but arm yourselves with all the mind
that was in Christ, your Head.

what foe have I to fear?
in darkness and temptation
my light, my help, is near;
though hosts encamp around me,
firm at my post I stand;
what terror can confound me,
with God at my right hand?
2 Place on the Lord reliance,
my soul with courage wait;
his truth my reassurance
when faint and desolate;
his might my heart shall strengthen,
his love my joy increase;
mercy my days shall lengthen,
the Lord will give me peace.
Scripture: 1 Kings 3:14 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88; Alfred Harold Wood, 1896-1989 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Service Lyrics: 1 Let him to whom we now belong
his sovereign right assert,
and take up every thankful song
and every loving heart.

who bought us with a price:
as Christian live to Christ alone,
to Christ alone we die.
3 We come in deep humility
your easy yoke to prove,
and own it perfect liberty
to serve the Lord we love.
4 Jesus, your own at last receive,
fulfil our hearts’ desire;
and let us to thy glory live
and in thy cause expire.
5 Our souls and bodies we resign;
with joy we render thee
our all, no longer ours, but Thine,
to all eternity.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Used With Tune: JACKSON
Let him to whom we now belong
