Baptism

Verse 1

We adore the Lord the Lamb, And rejoice in his dear name; He has shed his precious blood, To redeem our souls to God.

Verse 2

Once we lay immersed in sin; Every part and power unclean; Enemies to all that’s good, We despised the Saviour’s blood.

Verse 3

But the Lord, by grace divine, Brought us to abhor the crime; And, to make his wonders known, Gave us faith in Christ, his Son.

Verse 4

Thus redeemed and saved by blood, We esteem the ways of God, And would gladly him obey, In his own appointed way.

Verse 5

’Tis from love to Christ, our Head, We his footsteps wish to tread; And when we his unction feel, We with pleasure do his will.
