19. Baptized Into the Body

1 Have you been baptized into the Body?
Baptized with the Holy Ghost;
There is but one way to enter in it,
Just as they did on Pentecost.

Chorus:
Are you in the Church triumphant?
Are you in the Savior’s Bride?
Come and be baptized into the Body,
And forevermore abide.

2 There is but one Church, Bride or Body,
And into it we’re all baptized;
By the one, true promised Holy Spirit;
Tho’ by the world we’re all despised. [Chorus]

3 Ev’ry creed has claim’d to be the Body,
But the “plumb-line” proved untrue;
All their dreams, for God has so determined,
To bring His Son’s true Bride to view. [Chorus]

4 Many thought that they were in the Body,
‘Til the Holy Ghost had come;
When the Word of God was opened to them,
They entered in, and yet there’s room. [Chorus]

5 Those who died before the Holy Spirit
Came upon us from on high
May, by faith with Saints of old departed,
Arise to meet Him in the sky. [Chorus]

6 When the Bridegroom comes, will you be ready;
And your vessel all filled and bright?
You will be among the foolish virgins
If you do not walk in the light. [Chorus]
