EN 3337 Within the Church’s Sacred Fold

Matt.28.19

Versi Version 1

1

Within the Church’s sacred fold,

By holy sacrament enrolled,

Another lamb we lay:

An heir before of sin and shame,

Now in the holy triune Name

His guilt is washed away.

2

O loving Father, Thee we pray

Look on this babe newborn today,

Thine own adopted child;

An angel guard do Thou bestow

To lead him in Thy paths below,

And guide him through the wild.

3

O God the Son, Thou heavenly Vine,

Protect this tender branch of Thine

Through all that may betide;

Forever nourished may he be

With sap divine that flows from Thee,

In Thee for aye abide.

4

Blest Spirit, whose indwelling grace

Has given this little one a place

Among the heirs of life;

O breathe Thy sevenfold gifts within,

And keep Thy temple pure from sin

In midst of worldly strife.

5

So, holy Trinity, by Thee

Divinely trained this babe may be

In faith and hope and love;

So may he gain, earth’s waves o’erpast,

His bright inheritance at last

With all Thy saints above.
