[Repentance must prepare the way]

Preaching the baptism of repentance. —iii. 3.

Repentance must prepare the way,
Repentance must be preach'd to all,
We thus the gospel call obey,
And throughly conscious of our fall,
Our deep apostasy confess,
And mourn our want of pardoning grace.
The first of duties is the last,
But cannot for our sins atone,
Pardon for our transgressions pass'd
We seek through Jesu's death alone,
And when our contrite hearts believe
Forgiveness we with Christ receive.
