"I am baptized into Christ!" While singing this beloved hymn, follow along as a baby boy is born of water and the Spirit and grows in his baptismal grace until he receives the crown of life.

Children and adults alike will delight in these colorful scenes of Christians living the truths of their faith. Includes a special presentation page, making this a beautiful gift and keepsake for God's own child, young or old.

  1. God's own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ!
    He, because I could not pay it, Gave my full redemption price.
    Do I need earth's treasures many? I have one worth more than any
    That brought me salvation free Lasting to eternity!
  2. Sin, disturb my soul no longer: I am baptized into Christ!
    I have comfort even stronger: Jesus' cleansing sacrifice.
    Should a guilty conscience seize me Since my Baptism did release me
    In a dear forgiving flood, Sprinkling me with Jesus' blood!
  3. Satan, hear this proclamation: I am baptized into Christ!
    Drop your ugly accusation, I am not so soon enticed.
    Now that to the font I've traveled, All your might has come unraveled,
    And, against your tyranny, God, my Lord, unites with me!
  4. Death, you cannot end my gladness: I am baptized into Christ!
    When I die, I leave all sadness To inherit paradise!
    Though I lie in dust and ashes Faith's assurance brightly flashes:
    Baptism has the strength divine To make life immortal mine.
  5. There is nothing worth comparing To this lifelong comfort sure!
    Open-eyed my grave is staring: Even there I'll sleep secure.
    Though my flesh awaits its raising, Still my soul continues praising:
    I am baptized into Christ; I'm a child of paradise!

5 out of 5 stars
A gem.
You can't beat the words of the hymn. This is an amazing hymn and I was delighted to stumble across this for a godchild. When it arrived, I immediately bought three more - one for my family and the rest for our other godchildren. As it takes you through the hymn, it is taking you through the life of a family from birth to death to life with our Lord. Whether on this or that side of Heaven, we are baptized into Christ - into that Communion with Him.(I was even pleasantly surprised that the altar says across it "This is my body, this is my blood."

Simple, yet profound!

This is a fantastic tool in teaching the truth of the Bible, in a memorable way, to children! In clear, simple words, and in simple, ordinary images, the comfort of Baptism shines forth is great clarity! I thank God that this author brought the simple truth of the Word of God to children in the nursery!

If you are a "Bible-believing Christian," and if you want to train your child in the truth of God's Word, then THIS is the book to buy! 1 Peter 3 says, "Baptism now saves you." Acts 2 says, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

What a wonderful idea, book, teaching, and presentation! I highly recommend purchasing this book!

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2016

Neumeister's beloved baptism hymn sings the confidence that Holy Baptism gives to the Christian in the face of threats from sin, Satan, and death. The illustrations in this book tell the story of that confidence, faith, and comfort throughout the life of the baptized. Here a little baby boy is baptized, is taught to treasure Jesus over his toys, grows to receive a sprinkling sip of Jesus' blood in Holy Communion, learns to defeat Satan's accusations in young adulthood with the forgiveness of sins in Christ. Having married and become a father himself, he returns to the font to bring his own child to be God's own child. He receives comfort at the death of his mother by her baptism, symbolized by the white pall covering her casket. He points his own children, then grandchildren to the future hope of the resurrection for those who sleep in Christ. And when his last hour comes, with his family at his side, his pastor called to speak forgiveness and pray with them in this hour, he falls asleep and joins the saints around the throne of the Lamb.

This book is a treasure, a marvelous tool to show how the benefits of Baptism extend to all of life. Great for children of all ages, for all who have been baptized into Christ!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am baptized into Christ!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

I teach in a Lutheran school, and this is one of the students' favorite hymns. The sing it with gusto in chapel, and I hear them humming it throughout the day. In fact, it is a favorite hymn of many in our congregation, of all ages. We have sung it on Sundays when we have a baptism, and we recently sang it, by request, at a funeral. It is also one on my favorite hymns, so when I heard the book was coming out, I was eagerly looking forward to it. It certainly did not disappoint! The wonderful words of the hymn are all there as the text of the book, woven through the story of one baby brought into the Kingdom of heaven through his baptism, living his life from childhood to adulthood as a child of God, and finally entering into his eternal glory at the end, secure in his baptismal faith. The theology is not too "heavy." I think a young child would find this both comforting and joyful. Because that's what it is. Jonathan Mayer did an absolutely marvelous job with the illustrations. They perfectly fit the story of the hymn, conveying both the comfort and the joy. This is a book that children of all ages will come back to over and over again. I hope to see more books illustrated by Mayer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book to Teach the Faith and the Gifts God Gives Us in Baptism!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018

This has been one of my son's favorite book for quite some time. He's 2 years old and can sing the first 2 verses with me.

It's an old hymn that is a relatively new translation for English speakers. It's quickly becoming a favorite in my congregation. The artist does a wonderful job of portraying the life of a boy being baptized at the font through his becoming a father, growing old and receiving the crown of life promised in baptism.

My son loves finding the crosses on the altar at church, on the wall of a home and on the steeples. He sees Jesus on the cross and victorious over death in a stained glass window. He sees God's Word proclaimed and the sacraments being administered. The artist portrays this in such a way that when we have a baptism in church (which isn't all that often), my son recognizes it from his book and knows what's happening.

Thanks Kloria Publishing!

5.0 out of 5 stars We have always loved this hymn

We ordered this book immediately when we saw it on Facebook. We have always loved this hymn. I read it to our three grandchildren last week ages 6,5, and 2. I sang a verse out loud and then we read the book. We talked about the illustrations and and how God was with the man his whole life, from his baptism as a small child, in the weekly gift of Christ's body and blood in communion, in the death of his dear wife, and then as he approached his own death. They were engaged the entire time we read. There is so much richness here! I am very excited to share this my Sunday School class ages 3-7 years old. I am certain that they will have many things to talk about in regards to faith in Christ. I will be ordering more copies for all my grandchildren! I look forward to more books by this illustrator.

My kids love the combination of being sung to and looking at a book. We have a very tattered copy of "He's Got the Whole World" that they all loved and prompted me to get some of our favorite hymns as books. They love the singing and looking at pictures and they are learning the hymns. Win win win. This one does have some end of life illustrations which felt shocking the first time or two we looked through it, but my kids seem unaffected, and really, what a great setting in which to discuss some of those end of life questions!
