Romans 6:2-4:  "2 By no means!  How can we who died to sin still live in it?  3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."

Baptized into Your name most holy,

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

I claim a place, though weak and lowly,

Among Your saints, Your chosen host.

Buried with Christ and dead to sin,

Your Spirit now shall live within.

My loving Father, here You take me

To be henceforth Your child and heir.

My faithful Savior, here You make me

The fruit of all Your sorrows share.

O Holy Spirit, comfort me

When threat'ning clouds around I see.

My faithful God, You fail me never;

Your promise surely will endure.

O cast me not away forever

If words and deeds become impure.

Have mercy when I come defiled;

Forgive, lift up, restore Your child.

All that I am and love most dearly -

Receive it all, O Lord, from me.

Let me confess my faith sincerely;

Help me Your faithful child to be!

Let nothing that I am or own

Serve any will but Yours alone.

Matthew 28:19 appears in the first two lines, and the two passages from Romans 6 appear at the end of the first verse:  "Buried with Christ and dead to sin, / Your Spirit now shall live within."

The passage from Galatians 3 mentions being "sons of God," and this is primarily in the second verse ("My loving Father, here You take me / To be henceforth Your child and heir"), but it's also referred to in the third and fourth verses.

Psalm 51:11 is clearly the source for the line "O cast me not away forever" in the third verse.  The cited verses from Psalm 51 may also inform the lines "Your Spirit now shall live within" (in the first verse) and "O Holy Spirit, comfort me" (in the second).
