Baptism Hymn Text

Faith Creator, claim this child

Call her Your own reconciled

Graft her into the True Vine

Wash her with your grace divine


Simple water fills the bowl.

How can this renew her soul?

Splashed on her your Holy Word

“Father, Son, and Spirit” heard.


Steeped in sin she meets this font

Filled with death, her soul in want;

With your blood you clothe her clean

Leaves this font, her guilt unseen.


From her birth unruly whole

Nothing pure within her soul

Fill her with your Spirit true

Make her die and rise anew
