Author: Maria G. Saffery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16527 First Line: ’Tis God the Father we adore Lyrics:
1 ’Tis God the Father we adore
In this baptismal sign;
’Tis He whose voice on Jordan’s shore
Proclaimed the Son divine.
2 The Father owned Him; let our breath,
In answering praise, ascend,
As in the image of His death
We own our heav’nly friend.
3 We seek the consecrated grave
Along the path He trod;
Receive us in the hallowed wave,
Thou holy Son of God.
4 Let earth and Heav’n our zeal record,
And future witness bear,
That we to Zion’s mighty Lord
Our full allegiance swear.
5 O that our conscious souls may own,
With joy’s serene survey,
Inscribed upon His judgment throne,
The transcript of this day.
