370. C. M. Baptis'd into the Name of the Trinity. And whilst to nothing here we fall, O speak, and bid us rise! 2 Thy name makes all creation fear, 3 Into thy name, thou God of hosts, Great Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 4 Renouncing all our former ways, 371. S. M. Arise, and be baptised, and wash away thy sin AS water purifies, And makes the filthy clean; So faith the blood of Christ applies, 2 "Call'd from above, I rise "To wash away my sin;" 3 Henceforth, vain world, adieu, 4 Aspiring to God, I rise Above your flattering charms; K 5 Dead be iny heart to all, A 372. C. M. Grateful obedience in Baptism. LMIGHTY Saviour! didst thou bleed, And poor become, that rich indeed I might for ever be? 2 Didst thou the cross for me sustain, That I might dwell with God? 4 O let thy Spirit be my guide 373. S. M. Following Jesus. ESUS, thou dying Lamb, Take all my sins away; Thine is the sacrifice I bring, 2 Within thy book I trace The way that thou dids' go; And by thy all-assisting grace, I will that way pursue. 3 Baptis'd in Jordan's stream, 374. C. M. Motives of Sinners and Saints Different. WHAT shall I do, the sinner cries, Believe in Christ, the word replies, 2 The grateful Saint looks upwards too, 3 Come, follow me, the Lord replies, 4 Follow in all that I require; By which to heaven you should aspire, 375. C. M. Why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptised. Acts xxii. 16. BELIEVING soul, why tarriest thou? Yield to the word-to Jesus bow; 2 Bury'd in baptism with our God, 3 Ye gilded vanities depart, With all your flattering charms; 40 may thy arms, Almighty Lord, Follow thou me. 2 3 4 376. 6.6.6. 6. 2. 8. John xxi. 22. Matt. iii. 13-17. Acts xxii. 16. HY tarriest thou? arise! Wand be baptis'd straightway;' This institution prize; O come without delay; If Jesus has thy sins forgiven, This is the way that leads to heaven. This is the way he trod, He bow'd beneath the stream; Did not account it mean; But loud proclaim'd, "This is my Son, Down from the shining skies, Descends the peaceful Dove, His conduct to approve; Thus Father, Son and Spirit too, How can we then delay, 377. C. M. Rippon's Selection. The love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Cor. v. 14. DEAR Lord, and has thy pardoning love Embrac'd a wretch so vile? Then kindly bid each cloud remove, 2 Hast thou the cross for me endur'd, 3 Didst thou the great example lead, And shall my pride disdain the deed, 4 Dear Lord, the ardour of thy love And now my willing footsteps move Not ashamed of Jesus. ESUS! and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee! Ashamed of thee whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days! 2 Asham'd of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; 3 Asham'd of Jesus! that dear friend, 4 Asham'd of Jesus!-yes, I may, 5 Till then-nor is my boasting vain- 6 His institutions would I prize, Take up my cross-the shame despise ; |
