[Jesus in earth and heaven the same]
Jesus in earth and heaven the same
Accept a parent's vow,
To Thee, baptized into Thy name
I bring my children now:
Thy love permits, invites, commands
My offspring to be bless'd:
Lay on them, Lord, Thy gracious hands,
And hide them in Thy breast.

Thy love permits, invites, commands
My offspring to be bless'd:
Lay on them, Lord, Thy gracious hands,
And hide them in Thy breast.
To each the hallowing spirit give
Even from their infancy,
And pure into Thy church receive
Whom I devote to Thee:
Committed to Thy faithful care,
Protected by Thy blood,
Preserve by Thine unceasing prayer,
And bring them all to God.
