Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away And give new strength to meet Thy will! 5 Here in baptismal water pure We find for sin a gracious cure; Our children here to Thee we bring To be Thine heirs, O heavenly King. 6 When at Thine altar we shall meet And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee and with Thy Church above. 7 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold, Give help to climb the heavenward steep Till Thy full glory we behold.
