This child from God above, the Father's gift divine, to this new life of light and love we give his seal and sign; To bear the eternal Name, to walk the Master's way, the Father's covenant to claim, the Spirit's will obey; To take the Saviour's cross, in faith to hold it fast; and for it reckon all things loss as long as life shall last; To tell his truth abroad, to tread the path he trod, with all who love and serve the Lord, the family of God.
