Acts 1: John truly baptized with water; but ye shall, &c

The mystical sign
Which our Lord did enjoin
Only once we receive;
But the Spirit, as oft as in Christ we believe;
He offers the grace
To baptize our whole race,
The water to cleanse
Our original filth, and our actual offence.

In all places and times
He blots out our crimes,
His Spirit bestows,
And with water of life the believer o'erflow-s.
The Earnest we feel,
The Witness and Seal,
The joy He imparts
And the love shed abroad in our purified hearts.
