Baptism of Children.
1 To Him who children blest,
And suffered them to come,
To Him who took them to his breast,
We bring these children home.
2 To Thee, O God, whose face
Their spirits still behold,
We bring them, praying that Thy grace
May keep, Thine arms enfold.
3 And as this water falls
On each unconscious brow,
Thy holy spirit grant, O Lord,
To keep them pure as now!
