Baptized into Thy name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host; Buried with Christ, and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. | My loving Father here doth take me To be henceforth His child and heir; My faithful Saviour now doth make me The fruit of all His sorrows share; My Comforter will comfort me When darkest clouds around I see. | And I have vowed to fear and love Thee, And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; I felt Thy Spirit inly move me, And dared to pledge myself Thy own, Renouncing sin to keep the faith, And war with evil to the death. | My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy covenant surely will abide; Oh cast me not away for ever, Should I transgress it on my side, If I have sore my soul defiled, Yet still forgive, restore Thy child. | Yea, all I am and love most dearly To Thee I offer now the whole; Oh let me make my vows sincerely, Take full possession of my soul, Let nought within me, nought I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. | 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. | |
