Grant to This Child the Inward Grace

Grant to this child the in­ward grace

While we the out­ward sign im­part;

The cross we on his fore­head trace

Do Thou en­grave up­on his heart.

May it his pride and glo­ry be

Beneath Thy ban­ner fair un­furled

To march to cer­tain vic­to­ry

O’er sin

o’er Sa­tan

o’er the world.
