Andrew is Jesus Little Lamb

 

This morning we celebrated Andrew being baptized into the family of Christ.

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 19:14 (ESV)

Dearest Jesus, We are here

Dearest Jesus, we are here,

Gladly your command obeying;

With this child we now draw near

In response to your own saying

That to you it shall be given

As a child and heir of heaven

Lord, your Word is clear and plain,

And we will obey it duly:

"He who is not born again,

Heart and life renewing truly,

Born of water and the Spirit,

Can my kingdom not inherit."

Therefore we have come to you,

In our arms this infant bearing.

Here we shall forgiveness view,

May this child your mercy sharing,

In your arms be shielded ever,

Yours on earth and yours forever.

Gracious Head, your member own;

Shepherd, take your lamb and feed it;

Prince of Peace, make here your throne,

Way of Life, to heaven lead it.

Precious Vine, let nothing sever

From your side this branch forever.
