Children Devoted to God, Gen. 17 7 10 Acts 16 14 15 33 (For those who Practise Infant Baptism. ) |
1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord, "I'll be a God to thee; "I'll bless thy numerous race, and they "Shall be a seed for me." 2 Abra'm believ'd the promis'd grace, And gave his sons to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was seal'd with blood. 3 Thus Lydia sanctify'd her house When she receiv'd the word; Thus the believing jailor gave His household to the Lord. 4 Thus later saints, eternal King, Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant-offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace.
