Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

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

Thou dost take me

To be hence­forth Thy child and heir;

My faith­ful Sav­ior

Thou dost make me

The fruit of all Thy sor­rows share;

Thou

Ho­ly Ghost

wilt com­fort me

When dark­est clouds around I see.

And I have vowed to fear and love Thee

And to ob­ey Thee

Lord

alone;

Because the Ho­ly Ghost did move me

I dared to pledge my­self Thine own

Renouncing sin to keep the faith

And war with ev­il un­to death.

My faith­ful God

Thou fail­est nev­er

Thy cov’nant sure­ly will abide;

Oh

cast me not away for­ev­er

Should I trans­gress it on my side!

Tho’ I have oft my soul de­filed

Do Thou for­give

re­store

Thy child.

Yea

all I am and love most dear­ly

I of­fer now

O Lord

to Thee.

Oh

let me make my vows sin­cere­ly

And help me Thine own child to be!

Let naught with­in me

naught 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 or die

And praise Thee ev­er­more on high.
