My Confirmation
Today,
dear Lord, these vows I take --
Vows which, for me, did others make,
When Thou bestowed baptismal grace,
And in
Thy Church gave me a place.
I
am Thy child by grace alone,
Since for my sin Thou didst atone.
The life I give Thou gavest me
To live and use,
in trust for Thee.
I
now renounce world, flesh, and, too,
The devil strong -- Thy will to do.
I pray for strength 'Gainst selfish pride,
I
too my faith and love confess
And pray for grace my life to bless.
This
steadfast faith that I affirm
Do Thou, by grace, in me confirm.
Dr.
Walton Harlowe Greever
