Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #653 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Baptism First Line: Of one Lord will we sing Lyrics: 1 Of one Lord will we sing,
And spread his fame abroad,
Jehovah Jesus is our King,
And be his name adored.
2 One living, vital faith,
Each Christian will approve;
A faith that triumphs over death,
And sweetly works by love.
3 One baptism we own;
A sacred, solemn sign
Of what the Saviour’s undergone,
To wash away our sin.
4 [His overwhelming pain,
And burial we see;
His rising from the grave again,
To set his children free.]
5 Here we by faith may view,
That every Christian’s dead
To Satan, sin, and Moses too,
Through Christ, our living Head.
6 In rising from the flood,
Saints solemnly proclaim
Their life is hid with Christ in God,
And they shall with him reign. Languages: English
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism"
