1
This child we dedicate to Thee
O God of grace and purity
Shield it from sin and threatening wrong
And let Thy love its life prolong

2
O may Thy Spirit gently draw
Its willing soul to keep Thy law
May virtue piety and truth
Dawn even with its dawning youth

3
We too before Thy gracious sight
Once shared the blest baptismal rite
And would renew its solemn vow
With love and thanks and praises now

4
Grant that with true and faithful heart
We still may act the Christian’s part
Cheered by each promise Thou hast giv’n
And laboring for the prize in Heav’n
