To Be Sung at a Baptism
From Miscellaneous Hymns and Poems · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
Come Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Reveal'd in the baptismal flood.
Joint Saviour Thou of sinners lost,
Descend, the one eternal God.
Now in Thy own appointed hour,
Thy own appointed means, appear,
That all may tremble at Thy power,
And own the triune God is here.
For these Thy ransom'd ones we claim
The grace which glorious life imparts,
Their souls baptize into Thy name,
And stamp Thine image on their hearts.
Into Thy fold this moment take,
True Witness of their sins forgiven,
And partners of Thy nature make,
And partners of Thy throne in heaven.
