BAPTISM.
                2  When buried with the Lord,
                    May they his presence find,
                  Proving that pleasures from thy throne
                    Are with obedience joined.
                3  When rising from the wave,
                    Lord, show thy lovely face ;
                  May sacred joy from heaven descend,
                    And glory fill the place.
                4  Then may these happy saints
                    In thy commandments run,
                  Till they shall reach the realms of bliss,
                    And mount Emmanuel’s throne.
                5  There may they sit and sing
                    The once baptized Lamb,
                  And make the courts of heaven resound
                    With his beloved name.
                6  With what ecstatic joy
                     They’ll tune the Saviour’s praise !
                   While millions join the sacred theme,
                     And swell the heavenly lays.

                           Invitations to follow Christ.
                 1  I IUMBLE souls, that seek salvation
                   IT Through the Lamb’s redeeming blood
                   Hear the voice of revelation,
                     Tread the path 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.
                 2  Hear the bless’d Redeemer call you,
                     Listen to his giacious voice;
                                    180
