Jesus e’er thou didst seek the skies,
When from the grave set free,
Thou didst command us to baptize
Disciples unto thee,
Lord, these, thy willing servants, are
Assembled here to day,
Baptized in water to declare
They thy commands obey,
Now as they humbly seek thy face,
May they thy goodness prove;
Baptize them in thy heavenly grace,
And in the fire of love.
