Author: S. F. Smith Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Meekly in Jordan's holy stream
The great Redeemer bowed;
Bright was the glory's sacred beam
That hushed the wondering crowd,
That hushed the wondering crowd.
2 Thus God descended to approve
The deed that Christ had done;
Thus came the emblematic Dove,
And hovered o'er the Son.
3 So, blessed Spirit, come to-day
To our baptismal scene;
Let thoughts of earth be far away,
And every mind serene. Topics: The Church Baptism Used With Tune: DEVIZES
