Behold us Lord before Thee met

Behold us, Lord, before Thee met
Whom each bright angel serves and fears,
Who on Thy throne rememberest yet
Thy spotless boyhood�s quiet years;
Whose feet the hills of Nazareth trod,
Who art true Man and perfect God.

To Thee we look, in Thee confide,
Our help is in Thine own dear Name;
For who on Jesus e�er relied,
And found not Jesus still the same?
Thus far Thy love our souls hath brought:
O stablish well what Thou hast wrought.

From Thee was our baptismal grace,
The holy seed by Thee was sown;
And now before our Father�s face
We make the three great vows our own,
And ask, in Thine appointed way,
Confirm us in Thy grace today.

We need Thee more than tongue can speak,
�Mid foes that well might cast us down;
But thousands, once as young and weak,
Have fought the fight, and won the crown;
We ask the help that bore them through;
We trust the Faithful and the True.

So bless us with the gift complete
By hands of Thy chief pastors giv�n,
That awful Presence kind and sweet,
Which comes in sevenfold might from Heav�n;
Eternal Christ, to Thee we bow:
Give us Thy Spirit here and now.
