22. A Child’s Baptismal Day
I want to follow Jesus Christ,
Who gave His life for me.
Who taught that those who do His will,
Will live eternally.
I want to live an honest life,
And serve all that I see.
So, from this time, I’ll kneel and pray
That Father keep me free
From sin and error all my days,
Until I come to be,
Like Jesus was, when He met John,
In distant Galilee.

“Then cometh Jesus from Galiliee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
"But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
"And Jesus answering said unto him, “Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
" And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
