Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

Verse 1

Baptized into your name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, among your seed, your chosen host. Buried with Christ and dead to sin, your Spirit now shall live within.

Verse 2

My loving Father, there you took me to be henceforth your child and heir. My faithful Savior, there you let me the fruit of all your sorrows share. O Holy Spirit, comfort me when threat'ning clouds around I see.

Verse 3

My faithful God, you fail me never; your promise surely will endure. O cast me not away forever if words and deeds become impure. Have mercy when I come defiled; forgive, lift up, restore your child.

Verse 4

All that I am and love most dearly— receive it all, O Lord, from me. Let me confess my faith sincerely; help me your faithful child to be! Let nothing that I am or own serve any will but yours alone.
