LyicsWISDOM divine ordain'd the plan
To save rebellious, fallen man;
Attend, you sons of men, give ear;
The righteousness of God is near.
The Saviour sends the heralds forth,
From east to west, from south to north,
Go preach to all-to Israel first,
Believe, repent, and be immers'd.
In spirit Peter preach'd aloud
To the astonish'd, list'ning crowd;
Convinc'd, they cry-What shall we do
T' escape from everlasting wo?
Reform, he cried-in Jesus' name
Be all immers'd, despise the shame;
Remission full the Lord will give,
The Spirit too you shall receive.
This is the way ordain'd by God
To enter his divine abode-
His church on earth-come, enter in,
No longer serve the tyrant sin.
Haste and escape the threat'ning storm;
Believe in Jesus, and reform;
Rise-be immers'd without delay,
And wash your num'rous sins away.
