After Baptism

Verse 1

"Proclaim," said Christ, "God's wondrous grace To all the sons of men; He who believes and is baptiz'd, Salvation shall obtain."

Verse 2

Let plenteous grace descend on those, Who, hoping in his word, This day have publicly declar'd, That Jesus is their Lord.

Verse 3

With cheerful feet may they go on, And run the Christian race; And in the troubles of the way, Find all-sufficient grace.

Verse 4

And when the awful message comes, To call their souls away; May they be found prepar'd to live In realms of endless day.
