'Twas the commission of our Lord,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;Go, teach the nations, and baptise.&quot;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The nations have received the word&lt;br&gt;<br /> Since he ascended to the skies.<br /> <br /> 2. He sits upon th' eternal hills,&lt;br&gt;<br /> With grace and pardon in his hands,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And sends his cov'nant with the seals,&lt;br&gt;<br /> To bless the distant British lands.<br /> <br /> 3. &quot;Repent, and be baptised,&quot; he saith,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;For the remission of your sins;&quot;&lt;br&gt;<br /> And thus our sense assists our faith,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And shows us what his gospel means.<br /> <br /> 4. Our souls he washes in his blood,&lt;br&gt;<br /> As water makes the body clean;&lt;br&gt;<br /> And the good spirit from our God&lt;br&gt;<br /> Descends like purifying rain.<br /> <br /> 5. Thus we engage ourselves to thee,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;&lt;br&gt;<br /> O may the great eternal Three,&lt;br&gt;<br /> In heaven our solemn vows record!<br /> <br /> [[category:Hymns]]<br /> [[category:Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:British English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:8 8 8 8]]<br /> [[category:Baptism]]</div>
