O God, in whose all-searching eye
Thy servants stand to ratify
The vow baptismal by them made
When first Thy hand was on them laid,
Bless them, O holy Father, bless,
Who Thee with heart and voice confess.
May they, acknowledged as Thine own,
Stand evermore before Thy throne.
O Christ, who didst at Pentecost
Send down from heaven the Holy Ghost
And at Samaria baptize
Those whom Thou didst evangelize,
And then on Thy baptized confer
Thy best of gifts, the Comforter,
By apostolic hands and prayer,
Be with us now as Thou wert there.
