Hymnal: SSBR1909 #71 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Thy Name, most holy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among Thy seed and chosen host;
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 Saviour, 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 fear and love Thee,
And to obey Thee, Lord, alone;
I felt Thy Holy Spirit move me,
And freely pledged myself Thine own,
Renouncing sin to keep the faith,
And war with evil unto death.
4 My faithful God, Thou failest never,
Thy covenant will e'er abide;
Oh, cast me not away forever,
Should I transgress it on my side;
If I have sore my soul defiled,
Yet still forgive, restore Thy child.
5 Yea, all I am, and love most dearly,--
To Thee anew I give the whole;
Oh, let me make my vows sincerely,
Take full possession of my soul,
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. Topics: The Christian Church; Baptism and Confirmation Baptism
