LyicsHumble souls who seek salvation
Through the Lamb's redeeming blood,
Hear the voice of revelation,
Tread the paths that Jesus trod:
Flee to him, your only Saviour,
In his mighty name confide;
In the whole of your behavior
Own him as your sovereign guide.
Hear the bless'd 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 baptized in my name:"
He himself in Jordan's river
Was immersed beneath the stream.
Plainly here 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 interred at his commanding,
After his example rise.
