Text:Baptize us anew
Author:W. A. O.
Tune:BAPTIZE US ANEW
Composer:W. A. Ogden

1209. Baptize us anew

1 Baptize us anew
With pow'r from on high,
With love, O refresh us!
Dear Saviour, draw nigh.

Chorus:
We humbly beseech thee
Lord Jesus, we pray,
With love and the Spirit
baptize us today.

2 Unworthy we cry,
Unholy, unclean,
O wash us and cleanse us
From sin's guilty stain. [Chorus]

3 O heavenly Dove,
Descend from on high!
We plead thy rich blessing;
In mercy draw nigh. [Chorus]

4 O list the glad voice!
From heaven it came:
Thou art my beloved,
Well pleased I am
We praise thee, we bless thee,
dear Lamb that was slain,
We laud and adore thee,
Amen and Amen.
