CRC Pastor Raymond Coffey responded to my post on the 1959 baptismal rite with this comment:
"Your notes were right on from the 1959 hymnal. Apart from updating and compressing some language, there are several significant differences between the 1959 Edition and the current one. The most significant is the change from 'that thou hast forgiven us and our children all their sins' to 'for having forgiven our sins.' No mention of the children here. I think that is because they do not want to offend the generic evangelicals, free church types, or baptists who visit their congregations. And yes, 'manfully fight' has been changed to 'make them champions of. . . .'"
