105 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
1 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
I'm baptized in Thy dear name;
In the seed Thou dost inherit,
With the people Thou dost claim,
I am reckoned,
I am reckoned,
And for me the Savior came.
2 Thou receivest me, O Father,
As a child and heir of Thine;
Jesus, Thou who didst, yea, rather
Ever livest, Thou art mine.
Thou, O Spirit!
Art my guide, my light divine.
3 I have pledged, and would not falter,
Truth, obedience, love to Thee;
Have vowed upon Thine altar
Ever Thine alone to be,
And forever
Sin and all its lusts to flee.
4 Gracious God, all Thou hast spoken
In this covenant shall take place;
But if I, alas, have broken
These my vows, hide not Thy face;
Restore me
By Thy grace!
5 Lord, to Thee I now surrender
All I have, and all I am;
Make my heart more true and tender,
Glorify in me Thy name.
Let obedience
To Thy will be all my aim.
6 Help me on in high endeavor,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Bind my heart to Thee forever,
Till I join the heavenly host;
Living, dying:
Let me make in Thee my boast.
