Ye humble worshippers of God,
Redeemed and saved by Jesus’ blood,
His sacred steps with care explore,
And choose the path he trod before.
Inspired with zeal he meekly came,
To Jordan’s highly honoured stream,
And there a bright example gave,
Immersed beneath the flowing wave.
The swelling billows round him rise,
Fit emblem of his agonies;
His death and resurrection too,
Are here exhibited to view.
He sanctified this mystic rite,
That we in it might take delight;
Come then as once your Saviour came,
And be baptised beneath the stream.
Behold the place where Jesus lay,
Believe in him, and him obey;
He will sufficient grace afford,
Come now and own your sovereign Lord.
