Lord, thou hast promised to baptize
Those in the Holy Ghost,
Whose faith on thee alone relies,
Thy cross their only boast.
Baptize us in thy Spirit, Lord,
And in that promised fire,
Which may to us all zeal afford,
All gratitude inspire.
Upon us may thy Spirit place,
As armour for our road,
Faith, hope, and love, with every grace,
The panoply of God.
So may we in temptation’s hour,
Ourselves the victory win;
And rescue others from the power,
Of Satan and of sin.
So may we constant gladness feel,
Love God our Father more;
And serve with undecaying zeal,
Thyself whom we adore,
So may we go from strength to strength,
And daily grow in grace,
Till in thy image raised at length,
We see thee face to face.
