Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: Irregular Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today The strong name of the Trinity By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three. 2 I bind this day to me forever, By pow'r of faith, Christ's incarnation, His Baptism in the Jordan River, His cross of death for my salvation, His bursting from the spiced tomb, His riding up the heavenly way, His coming at the day of doom, I bind unto myself today. 3 I bind unto myself today The pow'r of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to harken to my need, The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward, The Word of God to give me speech, His heav'nly host to be my guard. 4 Against the demon snares of sin, The vice that gives temptation force, The natural lusts that war within, The hostile foes that mar my course; Or few or many, far or nigh, In ev'ry place and in all hours, Against their fierce hostility, I bind to me those holy pow'rs. 5 I bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three, Of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation; Salvation is of Christ the Lord! Topics: Baptismal Life Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

Buried with Christ and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me To be henceforth Thy child and heir; My faithful Savior, Thou dost make me The fruit of all Thy sorrows share; Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me When darkest clouds around I see. 3 And I have vowed to love and fear Thee And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; Because the Holy Ghost did move me, I dared to pledge myself Thine own, Renouncing sin to keep the faith And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy cov'nant surely will abide; Oh, cast me not away forever Should I transgress it on my side! Tho' I have oft my soul defiled, Do Thou forgive, restore, Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am and love most dearly I offer now, O Lord, to Thee. Oh, let me make my vows sincerely And help me Thine own child to be! Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, But keep me faithful to Thine altar Till Thou shalt call me from my post. So unto Thee I live and die And praise Thee evermore on high. Amen. Topics: The Sacraments Baptism Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND
