1. Bap- tized in- to Thy Name most ho- ly, O Fa- ther, Son, and Ho- ly Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and low- ly, A- mong Thy seed, Thy cho- sen host. Bur- ied with Christ and dead to sin, Thy Spi- rit now shall live with- in.
 
2. My lov- ing Fa- ther, here doth take me To be hence- forth His child and heir; My faith- ful Sa- vior, now doth make me The fruit of all His sor- rows share; My Com- fort- er will com- fort me When dark- est clouds a- round I see.
 
3. And I have vowed to fear and love Thee And to o- bey Thee, Lord, a- lone; I felt Thy Ho- ly Spi- rit move me, I dared to pledge my- self Thine own, Re- noun- cing sin to keep the faith And war with e- vil un- to death.
 
4. My faith- ful God, Thou fail- est nev- er, Thy cov- 'nant sure- ly will a- bide; Oh, cast me not a- way for- ev- er Should I trans- gress it on my side! But if I fall hide not Thy face, Re- store Thy child, Lord, by Thy Grace.
 
5. Yes, all I am and love most dear- ly, To Thee I of- fer now the whole; O let me make my vows sin- cere- ly, Take full pos- ses- sion of my soul! Let naught with- in me, naught I own, Serve a- ny will save Thine a- lone.
