Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #531 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, once a child,
Saviour of young and old,
receive this little child of ours
into your flock and fold.
2 You drank the cup of life,
its bitterness and bliss,
and loved us to the uttermost
for such a child as this.
3 So help us, Lord, to trust,
through this baptismal rite,
not in our own imperfect love,
but in your saving might.
