Our Children, Lord, in Faith and Prayer
Author: Thomas Haweis, 1732-1820 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:39 Lyrics: 1 Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer,
we baptize in your name.
Let them your covenant mercies share
as we our faith proclaim.
2 Such children you did once embrace
while dwelling here below;
to us and ours, O Lord of grace,
the same compassion show.
3 In all their days their hearts secure
from sinful snares, we pray.
Throughout their lives let them endure
in every righteous way.

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 511 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:36 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal Light;
3 the joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his Name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name, an everlasting name;
their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him:
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme.

When God the Spirit Came
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2 Lyrics: 1 When God the Spirit came
Upon his church outpoured
In sound of wind and sign of flame,
They spread his truth abroad,
And filled with the Spirit,
Proclaimed that Christ is Lord.

That youthful church displayed!
To those of ev'ry tribe and race
They witnessed unafraid,
And filled with the Spirit,
They broke their bread and prayed.
3 They saw God's Word prevail,
His kingdom still increase,
No part of all his purpose fail,
No promised blessing cease,
And filled with the Spirit,
Knew love and joy and peace.
4 Their theme was Christ alone,
The Lord who lived and died,
Who rose to his eternal throne
At God the Father's side,
And filled with the Spirit
The church was multiplied.
5 So to this present hour
Our task is still the same,
In pentecostal love and pow'r
His gospel to proclaim,
And filled with the Spirit,
Rejoice in Jesus' Name. Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost; Church; Commissioning; Ministry; Mission; Witness Used With Tune: VINEYARD HAVEN

Hymn 52
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics:
'Twas the commission of our Lord,
"Go teach the nations, and baptize:"
The nations have received the word
Since he ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands;
And sends his cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant British lands.
"Repent, and be baptized," he saith,
For the remission of your sins:"
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what his gospel means.
Our souls he washes in his blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In heav'n our solemn vows record!

Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering,
our human sinfulness takes on
there in the waters of the Jordan,
as Jesus is baptized by John.
Hear how the voice from heaven is saying,
'Lo, this is my belovèd Son.'
See how in dovelike form the Spirit
descends on God's Anointed One.
2 From this assurance of God's favour
Christ goes into the wilderness,
there to endure a time of testing,
preparing him to teach and bless.
So we, by water and the Spirit
baptized into Christ's ministry,
are often led to paths of service
through mazes of adversity.
3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage
to live the faith our lips declare;
bless us in our baptismal calling;
Christ's royal priesthood help us share.
Turn us from every false allegiance,
that we may trust in Christ alone:
make of us now a chosen people
transformed by love to be your own. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Baptism; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: PSALM 118 (RENDEZ A DIEU)
