1. O Father, Thou who hast cre-| ated all,
1. O Father, Thou who hast cre-| ated all,
  In wisest love, we pray.
In wisest love, we pray.
  Look on this babe, who at Thy| gracious call
Look on this babe, who at Thy| gracious call
  Is entering on life's way;
Is entering on life's way;
  Bend o'er ''him'' in Thy tenderness,
Bend o'er ''him'' in Thy tenderness,
  Thine image on ''his'' soul impress;
Thine image on ''his'' soul impress;
  O, Father, hear.
O, Father, hear.


2. O Son of God, who diedst for| us, behold,
2. O Son of God, who diedst for| us, behold,
  We bring our child to Thee;
We bring our child to Thee;
  Thou tender Shepherd, take ''him''| to Thy fold,
Thou tender Shepherd, take ''him''| to Thy fold,
  Thine own for ay to be;
Thine own for ay to be;
  Defend ''him'' through this earthly strife,
Defend ''him'' through this earthly strife,
  And lead ''him'' on the path of life,
And lead ''him'' on the path of life,
  O Son of God.
O Son of God.


3. O Holy Ghost, who broodedst| o'er the wave,
3. O Holy Ghost, who broodedst| o'er the wave,
  Descend upon this child;
Descend upon this child;
  Give ''him'' undying life, ''his''| spirit lave
Give ''him'' undying life, ''his''| spirit lave
  With waters undefiled;
With waters undefiled;
  Grant ''him'', while yet a babe, to be
Grant ''him'', while yet a babe, to be
  A child of God, a home for Thee,
A child of God, a home for Thee,
  O Holy Ghost.
O Holy Ghost.


4. O Triune God, what Thou com-| mand'st is done;
4. O Triune God, what Thou com-| mand'st is done;
  We speak, but Thine the might;
We speak, but Thine the might;
  This child hath scarce yet seen our| earthly sun,
This child hath scarce yet seen our| earthly sun,
  Yet pour on ''him'' Thy light,
Yet pour on ''him'' Thy light,
  In faith and hope, in joy and love,
In faith and hope, in joy and love,
  Thou Sun of all, below, above,
Thou Sun of all, below, above,
  O Triune God.
O Triune God.}}
