[Our true and faithful Lord]
Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
—xi. 16.
Our true and faithful Lord
Spoke the prophetic word,
First to His apostles spake,
Then to all the ransom'd kind,
All may now the grace partake,
All the promised blessing find.
Spoke the prophetic word,
First to His apostles spake,
Then to all the ransom'd kind,
All may now the grace partake,
All the promised blessing find.
What the prediction meant
We learn by its event,
Gentile, Jew, and all our race
May the truth of Jesus prove,
Born again their Lord embrace,
Sons of God by faith and love.

May the truth of Jesus prove,

Sons of God by faith and love.
The pure baptismal Fire
Shall me, even me inspire,
I from my own works shall cease,
I the Spirit's birth shall know,
Live the life of holiness,
Perfect holiness, below.
Shall me, even me inspire,
I from my own works shall cease,
I the Spirit's birth shall know,
Live the life of holiness,
Perfect holiness, below.
Come holy, hallowing Flame,
And plunge me in Thy name!
Partner of Thy nature then,
Then I live and sin no more,
All the promises obtain,
Lost in silent love adore.
And plunge me in Thy name!
257
Then I live and sin no more,
All the promises obtain,
Lost in silent love adore.
