INVITATION TO CONFIRMATION.
DO you seek the way eternal,
Strive you now to comprehend;
To those blest abodes supernal
Do your youthful spirits tend?
Do not quench the holy feeling
Prompting ever to inquire;
Go, and at His footstool kneeling,
Kindle every pure desire.

Care not if the world should wonder,
Earnestly the way pursue;
Take the Book of Books and ponder
Till your hearts are born anew;
With its mysteries do not cavil,
Say not heaven is far away,
God, your Father, will unravel,
If you'll follow and obey.

Faith is what your soul is needing,
Earnest faith He will receive;
See the cross, the Saviour bleeding,
Can you say, I can't believe?
Earnest faith He will receive;
See the cross, the Saviour bleeding,
