23. A Hymn for Baptism

1 Come ye redeemed of the Lord,
Come and obey his sacred word;
He dy'd and rose again for you;
What more could the redeemer do?

2 We to this place are come to show;
What we to boundless mercy owe;
The Savior's footsteps to explore,
And tread the path he trod before.

3 Eternal spirit, heavenly dove,
On these baptismal waters move;
That we, through energy divine,
May have the substance with the sign.
