Baptism

Verse 1

With wonder and with love, We at thy courts appear; Thy ways our hearts approve, And thy great name revere; We own the Lamb, our Leader wise, Nor would we dare his ways despise.

Verse 2

[What Jesus does command, His children should obey; He’s King in Zion’s land, And does his sceptre sway; Let Zion, then, with one accord, Obey the precepts of her Lord.]

Verse 3

Can anything be mean, That’s worthy of our God? The King himself was seen In Jordan’s swelling flood; And shall the subject scorn to tread The path the King himself has made?

Verse 4

Come, fill our souls with love, With faith, and peace, and joy, Nor let the price of blood Against her God reply; Dear Father, draw, and we will run, In sweet obedience to thy Son.
