Author: Thomas Haweis (1734-1820); Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #632 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Acts 2:39 Lyrics: 1 Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
we now devote to you;
let them your covenant mercies share,
and your salvation true.
2 Such children you did once embrace,
while dwelling here below;
to us and ours, O God of grace,
the same compassion show.
3 Dear Lord, your infant feet were found
within your Father's shrine;
your years, with changeless virtue crowned,
were all alike divine.
4 Dependent on your bounteous breath,
we seek your grace alone,
in every stage of life and death,
to keep us still your own. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Baptism; Children; Covenant; Stages of Life Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT
