Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I am baptized in Thy name; In the seed Thou dost inherit, With the people Thou dost claim, I am reckoned: And for me the Savior came. | Thou receivest me, O Father, As a child and heir of Thine; Jesus, Thou who diedst, yea, rather Ever livest, Thou art mine Thou, O Spirit, Art my Guide, my Light divine. | I have pledged, and would not falter, Truth, obedience, love to Thee; I have vows upon Thine alter Ever Thine alone to be, And for ever Sin and all its lusts to flee. | Gracious God, all Thou hast spoken In this covenant shall take place; 154 But if I, alas! have broken These my vows, hide not Thy face; And from falling O restore me by Thy grace. | Lord, to Thee I now surrender All I have, and all I am; Make my heart more true and tender, Glorify in me Thy Name, Let obedience To Thy will be all my aim. | Help me in this high endeavor, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Bind my heart to Thee for ever, Till I join the heavenly host. Living, dying, Let me make in Thee my boast. | |
