BAPTISM.
And him through grace, while we have
We’ll worship, love, and fear. [breath
5 Come, all who love his name,
What now can hinder you ?
Here’s water, you believe in Christ,
Then be baptized too,
6 Sinners; this is the way,
Christ and th’ Apostles say;
Believe and be baptized to-day,
We’re sure you will be blest.
7 As servants here we sing,
And that with joy of heart;
We have believed and will obey,
O God, thy grace impart!

The pleasures of following Christ.
1 I ORD, in humble, sweet submission^
L* Here we meet to follow thee,
Trusting in thy great salvation,
Which alone can make us free.
2 Nought have we to claim as merit ;
All the duties we can do
Can no crown of life inherit;
All the praise to thee is due.
3 Yet we come in Christian duty,
Down beneath the wave to go ;
O the bliss, the heavenly beauty !
Christ the L,ord was buried so.
4 Come, ye children of the kingdom,
Follow him beneath the wave,
Rise, and show his resurrection,
And proclaim his power to save.
