Baptism

William Gadsby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119:32

Verse 1

Jesus, we thy name adore; Thine the kingdom is and power; Thou shalt reign on Zion’s hill; We would gladly do thy will.

Verse 2

Thou hast bought our souls with blood, And hast brought us home to God. We would gladly thee obey, In thy own appointed way.

Verse 3

We through grace are dead indeed, And from our old husband freed, But are married to the Lord, And would gladly do his word.

Verse 4

Thou didst sink in floods of wrath, Us to save from guilt and death; And with such a scene in view, We would thy commandments do.

Verse 5

Thou hast claimed us as thy bride; Keep us near thy wounded side; Dead to every lord but thee, We would fain obedient be.
