1. Spirit, come with grace, renew
These our children called by You;
May their souls and bodies be
Kept by You in sanctity.
Refrain: Breathe on them Your living breath;
Keep them faithful unto death.
2. To the font their faith we trace,
Where You touched them with Your grace,
Grafting them by love’s design
As a branch into the Vine. Refrain
3. Help them live, O holy Fire,
By God’s Word, as You desire;
Purge away all worthless dross,
Forge their lives around the cross. Refrain
4. In the Eucharistic meal,
Your forgiveness to them seal
As they feed on Jesus Christ,
For their sins once sacrificed. Refrain
5. May they fruits of faith display,
Firm and steadfast till that day
When all those who Christ confess
Shall be crowned with righteousness. Refrain

Pastor Starke,
I'm trying to hunt down the tune you mentioned (Carl Schalk's JESUS' NAME), and am not having good luck finding it. Do you know where it would be possible to find it?
Thanks,
Sam
