Lyics'TIS God the Father we adore
In this baptismal sign;
'Tis He whose voice, on Jordan's shore,
Proclaim'd the Son divine.
The Father own'd him; let our breath
In answ'ring praise ascend,
As in the image of His death
We own our heavenly Friend.
We seek the consecrated grave
Along the path He trod;
Receive us in the hallow'd wave,
Thou holy Son of God!
Let earth and heav'n our zeal record,
And future witness bear
That we to Zion's mighty Lord
Our full allegiance swear.
