'Twas the Commission of Our Lord

He sits upon th’eternal hills, With grace and pardon in His hands; And sends His cov’nant with the seals, To bless the distant darkened lands. [originally …the distant British lands] 3. Repent, and be baptized, He saith, For the remission of your sins: And thus our sense assists our faith, And shows us what His Gospel means. 4.
