Religion
Acts 2:38, 39: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Turning with contrite hearts to God,
Plunged in the depths of Jesus' name,
Pardon of sins through faith bestow'd.
Through faith the Holy Ghost we claim,
That Spirit of the Lord Most-High,
That mystic Gift unspeakable,
To help and cheer and sanctify
In all believing souls shall dwell.
The promised Spirit of holiness
To every age and nation given,
Father, we faithfully embrace,
And wait His sure descent from heaven,
Who now with willing mind obey
Thy gospel's, and Thy Spirit's call,
We find Him sent in this our day,
We feel the promise is for all.
