Author: Ella Sophia Armitage, 1841-1931 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #373 (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Father, in Your father-heart
we know our children have their part;
we sign them in Your threefold Name,
and by the sprinkled water claim
Your covenant in Christ revealed,
to us and to our children sealed.
2 Name of the Father, pledge that we
in You our inmost being see;
Name of the Son, whereby we know
the Father's love to all below;
Name of the Spirit, blessed sign
that now we share the life divine.
3 Fulfil Your covenant of love;
baptise our children from above;
Your best, Your highest gift impart,
the blessing of a childlike heart,
and mould them through life's strain and stress
to the full growth of perfectness. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: SUSSEX CAROL
