HYMNS FOR BAPTISM HYMN I. OUR LORD when cloth'd with mortal Flesh Tho free from every sinful Stain Wou'd be Baptiz'd that Men to trace His sacred Steps might not disdain Nay more He was all plung'd in Tears And bath'd in bloody Sufferings too What Fountain was requir'd to wash Our guilty Souls his Wounds will shew Thy Blood dear LORD can cleanse from a Sin This in our Baptism we confess 'T is for its cleansing Virtue we Our Prayers and Vows to thee address Bury'd with great Solemnity In thy Baptismal Sepulchre We are reviv'd and rais'd again White Robes of Righteousness to wear And as thy Sacred Word declares At the Great resurrection-Resurrection-Day Our Bodies shall be rais'd and chang'd And be adorn'd with bright Array HYMN II. THE sacred Body of our LORD Which on the Cross had bled Three Days lay bury'd in the Grave And then rose from the Dead His Presence the desponding Hearts Of his Disciples chears His Voice they hear his Scars survey Which banish Doubts and Fears Explaining Oracles divine Their Ears and Souls he charms His Order to convert the World Their drooping Courage warms For thus the Mediator spoke All Power in Earth and Heav'n To Me triumphant o'er the Grave Is by my Father giv'n Go therefore teach the Nations all What you have learn'd of Me Baptize 'em in the awful Name Of the Eternal Three Teach 'em whatever I command My Presence I assure To crown your Labours with Success While Heaven and Earth endure LORD we thy wondrous Grace adore Thy awful Word revere Thy Death and thy Revival both Our Baptism makes appear The Promise of thy Presence now Does glad Expectance raise Hope of thy second Coming fills Our Souls with Joy and Praise 'T is then the Dead thy Voice shall hear The Dead thy Voice obey Thy Saints who sleep in dust awake To Joy's Eternal Day HYMN III. COME lowly Souls that mourn Depress'd with Guilt and Shame Wash'd in your Saviour's sacred Blood Now call upon his Name Rejoice you contrite Hearts That tremble at his Word In the Baptismal Laver plung'd As was your Humble LORD Bath'd in Repenting Tears The Sins which you deplore Dead in your Saviour's Grave shall lie And shall be seen no more Come pious Candidates Of Grace and Glory too Praise your Redeemer's Love and tell What he has done for you Unspotted Robes you wear Your Sighs to Songs are turn'd Garments of Praise adorn you now Who late in Ashes mourn'd Your LORD and you are risen Aspire to things above Where he resides there you shall dwell In Realms of Light and Love HYMN IV. WHEN th' antient World God's Patience try'd And long his threatning Vengeance dar'd The Righteous Noah Favour found His Family alone was spar'd In secret Chambers of the Ark They all secure from Danger lie When th' Ocean's Banks were broke and Floods Burst through the Windows of the Sky Proud Waters o'er the Mountains roll And common Ruin widely spread Yet the bless'd Patriarch's House survives When all Mankind beside were dead At the Almighty's awful Word Th' obsequious Floods retire again And Noah from his mystick Tomb Peoples the ruin'd Earth with Men. So to restore a World o'erwhelm'd With Guilt and Misery dead in Sins Our SAVIOUR rising from the Grave Another Race of Men begins New Creatures of a Heavenly Form Whose Souls his Sacred Image bear While dead to Sin they live to God And spotless in white Robes appear Bury'd in their Redeemer's Grave With Him they live with Him they rise While the lost Race of Human Kind Delug'd with Sin and Ruin lies O Happy Souls whom Grace revives Their Bodies too their LORD will raise Refin'd and fit for Holy Souls To see his Face and sing his Praise HYMN V. THUS was the Great Redeemer plung'd In Iordan's swelling Flood To shew he 'd one day be baptiz'd In Tears in Sweat and Blood Thus was his Sacred Body laid Beneath the yielding Wave Thus was his Sacred Body rais'd Out of the liquid Grave When lo from Realms of Light and Bliss The Heavenly Dove comes down Lights on his venerable Head Which Rays of Glory crown While his Eternal Father's Voice An awful Joy excites This is my well-beloved Son In whom my Soul delights The mystick Rite his Death describ'd His Burial did foreshew The quickening of his Sacred Flesh His Resurrection too LORD thy own Precept we obey In thy own Footsteps tread We die are bury'd rise with Thee From Regions of the Dead O may the Spirit of Truth and Love His Power on us display Approve our Vows and seal our Souls To the Redemption-Day HYMN VI. O Bless'd Redemer in thy Side Upon the Cross was made a Wound The Bath where we are purg'd from Sin And where our Guilt 's intirely drown'd Water and Blood hence freely ran And on the trembling Earth were spilt Water to sanctify and cleanse Blood to atone for Crimson Guilt This wondrous Grace to represent Baptismal Waters were design'd In which thou LORD was 't bury'd too To thy great Father's Will resign'd Thus
Penitents who die to Sin With Thee are bury'd in thy Grave Thus quicken'd to a Life Divine Their Souls a Resurrection have And tho their Bodies turn to Dust This Holy Symbol does assure The Resurrection of the Just Shall render them all bright and pure Made like his Body ours shall be When Christ who is our Life appears Who to procure us Life was once Baptiz'd in his own Blood and Tears HYMN VII WHEN from Egyptian Slavery The Hebrews were redeem'd The parted Seas and covering Cloud A Grave to Israel seem'd But soon the joyful Tribes emerge And stand upon the shore With grateful Hearts and tuneful Tongues Their Saviour's Name adore He made th' obsequious Waves retire His Favourite Tribes to save Made them a way to Liberty Where Egypt found a Grave Thus Iacob's Sons baptiz'd of old To Moses in the Sea Sav'd by God's Arm themselves devote His Statutes to obey So from the Bondage of our Sins Redeem'd by Sovereign Grace We thro his watry Sepulchre Our Saviour's Footsteps trace Our Sins the worst of Enemies Are bury'd there and drown'd To a new Life our Souls are rais'd With tender Mercy crown'd To thee O Jesus may we live Devoted to thy Fear Thee will we love Thee will we praise And all thy Laws revere HYMN VIII THE Great Redeemer we adore Who came the Lost to seek and save Went humbly down from Iordan's Shore To find a Tomb beneath a Wave Thus it becomes us to fulfil All Righteousness he meekly said Why shou'd we then to do his Will Or be asham'd or be afraid With Thee into thy watry Tomb LORD 't is our Glory to descend 'T is wondrous Grace that gives us room To lie inter'd by such a Friend But a much more tempestuous Flood O'erwhelm'd thy Body and thy Soul That 's plung'd in Tears and Sweat and Blood And over this black Terrors roll Yet as the yielding Waves give way To let us see the Light again So on thy Resurrection-Day The Bands of Death prov'd weak and vain Thus when Thou shalt again appear The Gates of Death shall open wide Our Dust thy powerful Voice shall hear Shall rise and triumph at thy side These now vile Bodies then shall wear A glorious Form resembling Thine To be dissolv'd no more shall fear But with immortal Beauty shine HYMN IX WHEN fam'd Bethesda's Waters flow'd By a descending Angel mov'd The wondrous Pool a sovereign Bath For every Pain and Sickness prov'd Hither distemper'd Crouds repair Hither the Feeble Lame and Blind The first who steps into the Spring Leaves his Disease and Pains behind That languishing and dying Souls A nobler Cure might freely meet The Son of God came down and stir'd Baptismal Waters with his feet LORD 't is but just we follow Thee Who didst not scorn to lead the way Where we just see the Vale of Death Then view the Resurrection-Day Happy who haste into the Flood Where healing Virtues ever flow Where filthy Lepers clean are made The Blind to see the Lame to go Where contrite Spirits heal their Wounds And broken Hearts assuage their Pain The Dead themselves new Life inspires They breathe they move and rise again With lowly Minds and lofty Songs Let all admire the SAVIOUR's Grace Till the great Rising-Day reveal Th' immortal Glory of his Face HYMN X. IN such a Grave as this The meek Redeemer lay When He our Souls to seek and save Learn'd humbly to obey See how the spotless Lamb Descends into the Stream And teaches Sinners not to scorn What Him so well became His Body sanctifies The salutary Flood And teaches us to plunge our Souls I' th' Fountain of his Blood Oh! Sinners wash away Your Sins of Crimson Dye Bury'd with him your Sins shall all In dark Oblivion lie Rise and ascend with Him A Heavenly Life to lead Who came to rescue guilty Men From Regions of the Dead LORD see the Sinner's Tears Hear his Repenting Cry Speak and his Contrite Soul shall live Speak and his Sins shall die Speak with that mighty Voice Which one day wide shall spread Its Summons thro the Earth and Sea To wake and raise the Dead HYMN XI SEE in what Grave our Saviour lay Before he shed his precious Blood How he mark'd out the humble way To Sinners thro the mystick Flood The Sun of Righteousness his Beams Tho so divinely fair and bright Immers'd in Iordan's swelling Streams Submitting to this Holy Rite O Iordan honour'd oft before What greater Glory would'st thou have Than CHRIST descending from thy Shore To find in thee a liquid Grave Thy Streams retir'd on either side To th' Holy Ark once form'd a Way A Prophet's Mantle could divide Thy willing Streams taught to obey Plung'd by the Holy Baptist's Hand Buried in thee our SAVIOUR lies Did not thy Waters wondring stand To see Him die and see Him rise Blest Sepulchre where JESUS lay Which JESUS for us sanctifies Blest Flood to wash our Sins away And sink 'em so as ne'er to rise HYMN XII WHene'er one Sinner turns to God With contrite Heart and flowing Eyes The happy News makes Angels smile And tell their Joys above the Skies Well may the Church below rejoice And eccho back the Heavenly Sound This Soul was dead but now 's alive This Sheep was lost but now is found See how the willing Converts trace The Path their great Redeemer trod And follow through his liquid Grave The meek the lowly Son of God Here in the Holy Laver plung'd Their Souls are cleans'd from every Stain They die descend into the Tomb. By Grace they live and rise again Here they renounce their former Deeds And to a Heavenly Life aspire Their Rags for glorious Robes exchang'd They shine in clean and white Attire O Sacred Rite by this the Name Of JESUS we to own begin This is our Resurrection 's Pledg And seals the Pardon of our Sin Glory to God on high be giv'n Who shews this Grace to sinful Men Let Saints on Earth and Hosts of Heav'n In Consort joyn their loud AMEN FINIS 1 Tim. 3. 16.
