The Savior kindly calls Our children to his breast
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #474 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 The Saviour kindly calls
Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
2 Let them approach, he cries,
Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came.
3 With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to thee,
Imploring, that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be.
The Savior kindly calls Our children to his breast
Saviour! who thy flock art feeding
Author: Muhlenberg Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #475 (1873) Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 Saviour! who thy flock art feeding
With the shepherd's kindest care,
All the feeble gently leading,
While the lambs thy bosom share;
Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in thy gracious arm;
There, we know, thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.
2 Never, from thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them all life's dangerous way:
Then, within thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of thy grace.
Saviour! who thy flock art feeding
Here, Savior, we would come
Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #476 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 Here, Saviour, we would come,
In thine appointed way;
Obedient to thy high commands,
Our solemn vows we pay.
2 Oh, bless this sacred rite,
To bring us near to thee;
And may we find that as our day
Our strength shall also be.
Here, Savior, we would come
See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #477 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism 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!
2 Permit them to approach, he cries,
Nor scorn their humble name;
It was to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came.
3 We bring them, Lord, with fervent prayer,
And yield them up to thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine,
Thine let our offspring be! Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:22-28
See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
'Twas the commission of our Lord
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #478 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 'Twas the commission of our Lord,
Go, teach the nations, and baptize;
The nations have received the word,
Since he ascended to the skies.
2 He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands,
And sends his covenant with the seals,
To bless the distant heathen lands.
3 Repent and be baptized, he saith,
In token of forgiven sins;
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what the gospel means.
4 Hence, we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
Oh, may the great eternal Three
In heaven our solemn vows record.
'Twas the commission of our Lord
Jesus! we lift our souls to thee
Author: Beck Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #479 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: Jesus! we lift our souls to thee;
Thy Holy Spirit breathe;
And let this little infant be
Baptized into thy death.
2 Oh, let thine unction on it rest,
Thy grace its soul renew;
And write within its tender breast
Thy name and nature too.
3 If thou shouldst quickly end its days,
Its place with thee prepare;
And if thou lengthen out its race,
Continue still thy care.
4 Lord! plant us all into thy grace,
That we thy life may prove;
Partakers of thy cross beneath,
And of thy crown above.
Jesus! we lift our souls to thee
Come, Holy Spirit, from on high
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #480 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, from on high,
Baptizer of our spirits thou!
The sacramental seal apply,
And witness with the water now.
2 Exert thy energy divine,
And sprinkle the atoning blood;
May Father, Son, and Spirit join
To seal this child, a child of God.
Come, Holy Spirit, from on high
Meekly in Jordan's holy stream
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #481 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 Meekly in Jordan's holy stream
The great Redeemer bowed;
Bright was the glory's sacred beam
That hushed the wondering crowd.
2 Thus God descended to approve
The deed that Christ had done;
Thus came the emblematic Dove,
And hovered o'er the Son.
3 So, blessed Spirit, come to-day
To our baptismal scene:
Let thoughts of earth be far away,
And every mind serene.
5 This day we give to holy joy;
This day to heaven belongs:
Raised to new life, we will employ
In melody our tongues.
Meekly in Jordan's holy stream
By cool Siloam's shady rill
Author: Heber Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #482 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Baptism Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill
How sweet the lily grows;
How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
Of Sharon's dewy rose!
2 Lo! such the child whose early feet
The paths of peace have trod,
Whose secret heart, with influence sweet,
Is upward drawn to God.
3 By cool Siloam's shady rill
The lily must decay;
The rose, that blooms beneath the hill,
Must shortly fade away.
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man's maturer age
Will shake the soul with sorrow's power
And stormy passion's rage.
5 O thou who givest life and breath,
We seek thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
To keep us still thine own.
Scripture: Psalm 144:12
By cool Siloam's shady rill
God in his earthly temple lays
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #482 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian church made of Jews and Gentiles Lyrics:
God in his earthly temple lays
Foundations for his heav'nly praise:
He likes the tents of Jacob well,
But still in Zion loves to dwell.
His mercy visits every house
That pay their night and morning vows;
But makes a more delightful stay
Where churches meet to praise and pray.
What glories were described of old!
What wonders are of Zion told!
Thou city of our God below,
Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know.
Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew,
Shall there begin their lives anew;
Angels and men shall join to sing
The hill where living waters spring.
When God makes up his last account
Of natives in his holy mount,
'Twill be an honor to appear
As one new-born or nourished there!
Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English
God in his earthly temple lays
