LyicsHUMBLE souls who seek salvation,
Thro' the Lamb's redeeming blood,
Hear the voice of revelation,
Tread the path that Jesus trod:
Flee to him, your only Saviour,
In this mighty name confide,
In the whole of your behaviour,
Own him as your sov'reign guide.
Hear the blest Redeemer call you,
Listen to his gracious voice,
Dread no ills that can befall you,
While you make his ways your choice,
Jesus says, "Let each believer
Be baptised in my name."
He himself, in Jordan's river,
Was immers'd beneath the stream.
Plainly hear his footsteps tracing,
Follow him without delay;
Gladly his command embracing,
Lo, your Captain leads the way;
View the rite with understanding,
Jesus' grave before you lies,
Be interr'd at his commanding,
After his example, rise.
