Baptized Into His Death

Verse 1

Jesus! we lift our souls to thee; Thy Holy Spirit breathe; And let this little infant be Baptized into thy death.

Verse 2

Oh, let thine unction on it rest, Thy grace its soul renew; And write within its tender breast Thy name and nature too.

Verse 3

If thou shouldst quickly end its days, Its place with thee prepare; And if thou lengthen out its race, Continue still thy care.

Verse 4

Lord! plant us all into thy grace, That we thy life may prove; Partakers of thy cross beneath, And of thy crown above.
