Father Welcomes

Refrain:
Father welcomes all his children
to his fam'ly through his Son.
Father giving His salvation;
Life forever has been won.

Little children, come to me,
for my kingdom is of these.
Love and new life have I to give,
Pardon for your sin.
(Refrain)

In the water, in the Word,
in His promise, be assured;
All who believe and are baptized
have been born again.
(Refrain)

Let us daily die to sin;
let us daily rise with Him,
Walk in the love of Christ our Lord,
Live in the peace of God.
(Refrain)

I like the simplicity of the language while still containing much doctrine and proclamation. The song echos a couple portions of Luther's Small Catechism on baptism:

Second: What does Baptism do for us?

Baptism works forgiveness of sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare. What are these words and promises of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

Fourth: What does baptizing with water mean?

Baptism means that the old Adam in us should be drowned by daily contrition and repentance, and that all its evil deeds and desires be put to death. It also means that a new person should daily arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever. Where is this written?
St. Paul says in Romans, chapter 6, "We were buried with Christ through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

I think we can always use more reminders of our baptism.
