Our Children, Lord, in Faith and Prayer

we baptize in your name.
Let them your covenant mercies share
as we our faith proclaim.

while dwelling here below;
to us and ours, O Lord of grace,

from sinful snares, we pray.

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 513 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:36 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal Light;
3 the joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his Name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name, an everlasting name;
their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him:
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme.

Who rose to his eternal throne
At God the Father's side,
And filled with the Spirit

In pentecostal love and pow'r

And filled with the Spirit,
Rejoice in Jesus' Name. Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost; Church; Commissioning; Ministry; Mission; Witness Used With Tune: VINEYARD HAVEN

Hymn 52
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics:
'Twas the commission of our Lord,
"Go teach the nations, and baptize:"
The nations have received the word
Since he ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands;
And sends his cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant British lands.
"Repent, and be baptized," he saith,
For the remission of your sins:"
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what his gospel means.
Our souls he washes in his blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In heav'n our solemn vows record!

descends on God's Anointed One.

Christ goes into the wilderness,
there to endure a time of testing,
preparing him to teach and bless.
So we, by water and the Spirit
baptized into Christ's ministry,
are often led to paths of service
through mazes of adversity.

to live the faith our lips declare;
bless us in our baptismal calling;
Christ's royal priesthood help us share.
Turn us from every false allegiance,
that we may trust in Christ alone:
make of us now a chosen people
transformed by love to be your own. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Baptism; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: PSALM 118 (RENDEZ A DIEU)

That death so steeped in hate and scorn--

Lift up your heads, your King awaits.

And shout His name, His mercies tell!

And all on earth, your anthem swell!

All glory, pow'r! Amen, amen.

God's Holy Spirit Came
Author: Michael Denham; Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 Lyrics: 1 God's Holy Spirit came with rushing wind and fire,
Christ's presence here to comfort, bless, and to inspire.
The Spirit thus began God's holy work on earth
at Pentecost, a gift that gave the church its birth.
2 God sent the Spirit forth, fulfilling prophets' word,
to those who followed Jesus and who called him Lord.
Disciples gathered near the temple courts in prayer.
The Spirit blew and rested on those clustered there.
3 God's Spirit filled each one as Jesus had foretold.
In many tongues they spoke God's word, renewed and bold.
"Repent and be baptized," preached Peter in that hour,
and thousands came believing by the Spirit's power.
4 God's church alive today continues to proclaim
salvation by the Spirit's power in Jesus' name.
Let all believers now their tongues and lives employ.

O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 563 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
the fount of life, the light of men,
from fullest bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled to you again.

you save all those who on you call.
To those who seek you, you are good;
to those who find you, all in all.
3 We taste you, ever-living Bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
we drink of you, the fountainhead,
our thirst to quench, our souls to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for you
where'er our changeful lot is cast;
glad when you smile on us anew,
blest that our faith can hold you fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright!
Chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light!

See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 487 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:39 Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand,
With all-engaging charms;
Hark! how he calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in his arms!

Nor scorn their humble name;
It was to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came.

And yield them up to thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine,
Thine let our offspring be! Topics: The Christian Church Baptism; Consecration of Children
