Hymn 58

1. Our children, LORD, as cov’nant heirs,
   are baptized in your name,
   for they your steadfast promise share,
   which you to us proclaim.
   
   
2. Such children Jesus did embrace
   while dwelling here below;
   to us and ours, O God of grace,
   the same compassion show.
   
   
3. As they grow up, keep them secure
   from worldly snares, we pray;
   O let them to the end endure
   in every righteous way.
