Since thou art pleased thy saints to own,
Dear Lord, their children bless;
This institution do thou crown
With tokens of thy grace.
Jesus, we raise our souls to thee;
Thy powerful Spirit breathe;
And let this little infant be
Baptised into thy death.
O let the unction on him rest—
Thy grace his soul renew;
And write within his tender breast
Thy name and nature too.
If thou shouldst quickly end his days;
His place with thee prepare;
Or if thou lengthen out his race,
Continue still thy care.
Thy faithful servant may he prove,
Girded with truth divine;
A sharer in thy dying love....
A follower of thine.
Lord plant us all into thy death.
That we thy life may prove—
Partakers of thy cross beneath,
And of thy crown above,
