Lo, the Eunuch makes profession,
Of his faith in Christ the Lord;
Philip hears, and then enjoins him
To obey his sacred word:
|: Into Jordan :|
They descend with one accord.
When immersed, again ascending,
Lo, the Eunuch goes his way;
Joyful at the deed performed,
Guided by a heavenly ray:
|: Now commissioned, :|
Jesus’ glories to display.
Saints, behold this bright example,
And obey the mystic rite;
‘Tis your gracious Lord’s injunction,
Let his word be your delight:
|: And he’ll bless you, :|
Guide your doubtful feet aright.
Let not shame or fear prevent you,
Christ commands and is your friend;
He to whom you pay allegiance,
Will divine assistance lend:
|: Here is water, :|
Now to his commands attend.
