  1. O God our strength, our hope, our rock
    Whose promise faileth never,
    Into Thy chosen blood-bought flock
    Receive this child for ever.

  2. Now seal’d with Thy thrice holy Name
    In these baptismal waters,
    For him a place we humbly claim
    Among Thy sons and daughters.

  3. We stamp the cross upon his brow,
    The symbol of Thy passion;
    O Christ, vouchsafe his earliest vow
    May be his life’s confession.

  4. And, Father, grant nor life nor death
    From Thee Thy child may sever,
    Thy soldier true to plighted faith,
    Thy servant, Thine for ever. Amen.
