Author: Calvin A. Busch Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #353 (1961) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, today, our child,
An heritage from thee,
We bring in faith and claim for him
Thy promise free.
2 Dear Lord, today, our child,
Sweet token of thy love,
We bring into thy church
For blessings from above.
3 Dear Lord, today our child,
Rich treasure of thy grace,
We bring upon his brow
The sign and seal to place.
4 Dear Lord, today, our child,
A gracious gift of thine,
We bring to set apart,
Baptized in Name Divine.
5 Dear Lord, today our child,
The fruit of God-blessed seed,
We bring to thee to ask
For help in ev'ry need.
