L. M.

The baptism of Jesus.

Come, happy souls, adore the Lamb,

Who loved our race ere time began,

Who vailed his Godhead in our clay,

And in an humble manger lay.

2 To Jordan’s stream the Spirit led,

To mark the path his saints should tread;

With joy they trace the sacred way,

To see the place where Jesus lay.

3 Baptized by John in Jordan’s wave,

The Saviour left his watery grave;

Heaven owned the deed, approved the way,

And blessed the place where Jesus lay.

4 Come, all who love his precious name;

Come tread his steps, and learn of him;

Happy beyond expression they

Who find the place where Jesus lay.
