Baptized Into Thy Name Most Holy

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.
