Christians, you have seen to day
Some unto the Lord baptized;
They his orders would obey;
‘Tis because his love they prized.
Since your hopes from him you hold,
Rescued by his mighty hand,
Will you not like these be bold
To obey his plain command?
Since when thirty years were passed,
He was plunged in Jordan’s stream,
Thou you’ve long delayed, at last
Be immersed to follow him.
Be immersed to show that you
Will not his least precept break;
Are his servants firm and true,
And his love your treasure make.
Infant washing by a priest,
Never yet an infant blessed;
‘Tis unauthorised by Christ;
We against it must protest.
Do you now his blessing crave;
Be immersed unto his name;
Thus declare that faith can save,
Faith alone his blessing claim.
