Lord Jesus Christ, we bring to Thee
This dear but simple child,
And ask Thee to give new life,
Life pure and undefiled.
We owning what's a type of death,
Thy death that saves the soul,
That only through that precious blood
This child can be made whole.
Yes! make him Thine, give his young heart
Early to know Thy love,
That he may learn to walk with God,
And dwell with Thee above.
So give Thy blessing, gracious Lord,
While we bring him to Thee
O, keep and guard him night and day
Until Thy face we see.
We know Thy coming, Lord, is near,
Our hearts would watch and wait,
Save our dear children, for Thy name,
Thy glory, Lord, and sake.
