Baptism hymns mark the sign of new life in Christ — the water, the name, the welcome into the body of believers. Texts like "Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove" and "Wash, O God, Our Sons and Daughters" give the congregation a way to surround the newly baptized with song.

These public-domain baptism hymns are free to sing and project, whether for an infant baptism, a believer's baptism, or a service of remembrance of baptism.
