Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1092 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Salem's bright King, Jesus by name,
In ancient time to Jordan came,
All righteousness to fill;
'Twas there the ancient Baptist stood,
Whose name was John, a man of God,
To do his Master's will.
2 Down in old Jordan's rolling stream
The Baptist led the holy Lamb,
And there did him baptize;
Jehovah saw his holy Son,
And was well pleased in what he'd done,
And owned him from the skies.
3 This is my Son, Jehovah cries;
On him, to rest, the Spirit flies;
O children, hear ye him!
Hark! 'tis his voice, behold he cries:
"Repent, believe, and be baptized,
And Christ will save from sin." Topics: The Church Baptism
