Classic Poem

Come, infant, to His heart of love
Who seals thee with His grace;
And nestle, as a foster'd dove,
In His Divine embrace.

Baptized into the name of God
The Father, Son, and Spirit,
Thou by the water and the blood
His kingdom shalt inherit.

Thee with His holy cross we sign
In token thou art His,
And He Himself with all things thine,
Earth's service or heaven's bliss.

God bless thee and thou shalt be bless'd,
God keep thee and defend!
Who clasps His children on His breast
Will clasp them to the end.
