A little child the Savior came
From Oremus Hymnal
A little child the Savior came,
the mighty God was still his Name;
and angels worshiped as he lay
the seeming infant of a day.
He who, a little child, began
the life divine to show to man,
proclaims from heaven the message free:
“Let little children come to me.”
We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
of sprinkled water name them thine;
their souls with saving grace endow;
baptize them with thy Spirit now.
O give thine angels charge, good Lord,
them safely in thy way to guard;
thy blessing on their lives command,
and write their names upon thy hand.
O thou, who by an infant’s tongue
dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
may these, with all the heavenly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
