LyicsIN Jordan's tide the Baptist stands,
Immersing the repenting Jews;
The Son of God the rite demands,
Nor dares the holy man refuse:
Jesus descends beneath the wave,
The emblem of his future grave.
But lo! From yonder opening skies,
What beams of dazzling glory spread!
Dove-like the Eternal Spirit flies,
And lights on the Redeemer's head;
Amaz'd they see the power divine
Around the Saviour's temples shine.
Then doth the Father loud proclaim,
In audience of the wond'ring crowd;
Attend ye nations, hear the name
His Father gave; he spake aloud:
"This is my well beloved Son!
"I see well pleas'd what he hath done."
