Text:Baptism

XXXV. Baptism

1 Come, all ye lovers of the Lamb,
This path your dear Redeemer trod;
Behold him bending in the stream!
See him arise, approv'd of God!

2 Repenting sinner, hither come,
Nor linger on the distant shore;
Your Saviour made this solemn rite
An emblem of his saving pow'r.

3 By faith alone the trembling soul
Can urge her claim to children's food;
She quits her hold on hopeless forms,
And seeks in Christ her only good.

4 Obedience flows from willing minds,
Renew'd and purify'd by grace;
Come freely to the gospel pool,
All ye who humble seek his face.
