For us all a child was born On that ever glorious morn. Is there greater joy on earth Than attends a human birth? Great the joy that Mary had, New to cares of motherhood; In these very joys and cares Every loving parent shares. Trusting now in Mary's Son, We baptize this little one; May he make us wise to know How to help a child to grow: How to grow in mind and limb, How, through life, to follow him In the world he came to save By the patient power of love.
