The Saviour with inviting voice,
Says “let your children come;
For them there's love within my breast,
And in my kingdom room.”
As Israel's seed, we would embrace
The privilege thus given;
And own them fit to be baptised,
Since God takes such to heaven.
Lord, at thy call, we bring our babes,
And give them up to thee;
Ye angels, and ye men, behold,
And now our witness be.
Now our dear offspring are baptised
According to his word,
As Abra'm his did circumcise,
Obedient to the Lord.
This water, sprinkled on the child,
Does a rich emblem show
Of pouring out the Spirit's grace
To form the heart anew.
