God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It

God’s own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ\nHe, because I could not pay it, gave my full redemption’s price\nDo I need earth’s treasures many? I have one worth more than any\nThat brought me salvation free, lasting to eternity\nDeath, you cannot end my gladness: I am baptized into Christ\nWhen I die, I leave all sadness to inherit paradise\nThough I lie in dust and ashes faith’s assurance brightly flashes:\nBaptism has the strength divine to make life immortal mine
