another, so that our lives are sustained and sanctified for
your service.

The Rector or Minister in charge continues

Holy Spirit, open our eyes, our ears, and our hearts, that we
may grow closer to you through joy and through suffering.
Be with us in the fullness of your power as new members are
added to your household, as we grow in grace through the
years, when we are joined in marriage, when we turn to you
in sickness or special need, and, at the last, when we are
committed into the Father's hands.

The Bishop concludes

Now, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
sanctify this place;

People For everything in heaven and on earth is yours.

Bishop Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom;

People And you are exalted as head over all. Amen.

The Bishop moves to the Font, lays a hand upon it, and says

Father, we thank you that through the waters of Baptism we
die to sin and are made new in Christ. Grant through your Spirit
that those baptized here may enjoy the liberty and
splendor of the children of God.

V There is one Lord, one Faith, or Baptism;

R One God and Father of all.

We dedicate this Font in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen.

If there are persons to be baptized, water is now poured into the Font,
and the service continues as directed on page 575.
