AXXV. Baptism

1 Humble souls who seek salvation,
Thro' the Lamb's redeeming blood,
Hear the voice of recollection,
Tread the path that Jesus trod:
Flee to him your only savior,
In his mighty name confide;
Thro' the whole of your behavior,
Own him as your sovereign guide.

2 Hear the blest redeemer call you,
Listen to his gracious voice;
Dread no ills that can befal you,
While you make his ways your choice,
Jesus saith, let each believer,
Be baptised in my name;
He himself in Jordan's river,
Was immers'd beneath the stream.

3 Plainly here his footsteps tracing,
Follow him without delay;
Gladly his command embracing,
Lo! your captain leads the way;
View the rite with understanding,
Jesus' grave before you lies,
Be inter'd at his commanding,
After his example rise.
