Author: Christoph F. Neander; Samuel Gilman, 1791-1858 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #515 (2007) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns for a Pilgrim People Lyrics: 1 This child we dedicate to Thee,
O God of grace and purity!
In Thy great love its life prolong,
Shield it, we pray, from sin and wrong.
2 O may Thy Spirit gently draw
Its willing soul to keep Thy law;
May virtue, piety, and truth
Dawn even with its dawning youth.
Amen. Topics: Baptism; Church; Dedication of Children Scripture: Ephesians 6:4 Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET
