347. On the first Approach at the Lord's Table, or Confirmation

1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine,
Purchas'd and sav'd by blood divine;
With full consent thine I would be,
And own thy sov'reign right in me.

2 Here, Lord, my flesh, my soul, my all,
I yield to thee beyond recall;
Accept thine own, so long withheld--
Accept what I so freely yield!

3 Grant one poor sinner more a place
Among the children of thy grace;
A wretched sinner, lost to God,
But ransom'd by Immanuel's blood.

4 Thine would I live--thine would I die--
Be thine thro' all eternity;
The vow is past beyond repeal;
Now will I set the solemn seal.

5 Be thou the witness of my vow--
Angels and men attest it too,
That to thy board I now repair,
And seal the sacred contract there.

6 Here at thy cross, where flows the blood
That bought my guilty soul for God;
Thee my new Master now I call,
And consecrate to thee my all.

7 Do thou assist a feeble worm,
The great engagement to perform;
Thy grace can full assistance lend,
And on that grace I dare depend.
