Text:Children devoted to God
Author:Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

I.CXXI. Children devoted to God

1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
"I'll be a God to thee;
"I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they
"Shall be a seed for me."

2 Abra'm believ'd the promis'd grace,
And gave his son to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was seal'd with blood.

3 Thus Lydia sanctify'd her house,
When she receiv'd the word:
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.

4 Thus later saints, eternal King!
Thine ancient truths embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim thy grace.
