409. Our Children, Lord in Faith and Prayer

1 Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
we baptize in your name.
Let them your cov'nant mercies share
as we our faith proclaim.

2 Such children you did once embrace
while dwelling here below;
to us and ours, O Lord of grace,
the same compassion show.

3 In all their days their hearts secure
from sinful snares, we pray.
Throughout their lives let them endure
in ev'ry righteous way.
