Let plenteous grace descend upon those

Representative Text

1 Let plenteous grace descend on those
Who, hoping in thy word,
This day have solemnly declared
That Jesus is their Lord.

2 With cheerful feet may they advance,
And run the Christian race,
And, through the troubles of the way,
Find all-sufficient grace.

3 Lord, plant us all into thy death,
That we thy life may prove:
Partakers of thy cross beneath,
And of thy crown above.

4 Come, Holy Spirit, love divine,
Thy grace to us be given;
To a new life our souls incline,
A life for God and heaven.
