Baptism. Matt. 3. 15; Luke 3. 21; Acts 10. 47

1 We adore the Lord the Lamb,
  And rejoice in his dear name;
  He has shed his precious blood,
  To redeem our souls to God.

2 Once we lay immersed in sin;
  Every part and power unclean;
  Enemies to all that’s good,
  We despised the Saviour’s blood.

3 But the Lord, by grace divine,
  Brought us to abhor the crime;
  And, to make his wonders known,
  Gave us faith in Christ, his Son.

4 Thus redeemed and saved by blood,
  We esteem the ways of God,
  And would gladly him obey,
  In his own appointed way.

5 ’Tis from love to Christ, our Head,
  We his footsteps wish to tread;
  And when we his unction feel,
  We with pleasure do his will.
