Baptism of Grown Persons

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 22:1

Verse 1

'Twas the commission of our Lord, Go, teach the nations, and baptize; The nations have received the word, Since he ascended to the skies.

Verse 2

He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands, And sends his covenant with the seals, To bless the distant heathen lands.

Verse 3

Repent and be baptized, he saith, In token of forgiven sins; And thus our sense assists our faith, And shows us what the gospel means.

Verse 4

Hence, we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov'nant with the Lord; Oh, may the great eternal Three In heaven our solemn vows record.
