‘Twas The Commission Of Our Lord,
“Go Teach The Nations, And Baptize:”
The Nations Have Received The Word
Since He Ascended To The Skies.
He Sits Upon Th’eternal Hills,
With Grace And Pardon In His Hands;
And Sends His Covenants With The Seals,
To Bless The Distant Darkened Lands.
“Repent, And Be Baptized,” He Saith,
“For The Remission Of Your Sins:”
And Thus Our Sense Assists Our Faith,
And Shows Us What His Gospel Means.
Our Souls He Washes In His Blood,
As Water Makes The Body Clean;
And The Good Spirit From Our God
Descends Like Purifying Rain.
Thus We Engage Ourselves To Thee,
And Seal Our Covenant With The Lord;
O May The Great Eternal Three
In Heaven Our Solemn Vows Record!
