HYMN 55. Truth in its Primitive Purity. Sung at the Administration of Baptism.

1

Now let us make a joyful Noise,
and sing unto the Lord;
And in God's Fear unite our Joys,
in him with one accord.

2

O blessed Day, in which we see
God's Ordinance restor'd!
Worthy art thou, O holy One,
to be in Truth ador'd.

3

Dark Clouds of Error God expells,
and Truth shines splendently:
O may our Brethren be convinc'd,
give them a seeing Eye:

4

You that Believers are, arise,
and all Baptized be;

61

Take heed you do not still dispise
Christ's Holy Baptisme.

5

And let us all thy Name, O Lord,
for evermore adore;
That thy blest Institutions are
restor'd as heretofore.

6

If every Truth, Lord, be by us
receiv'd in sincere Love,
It will to us an Evidence be,
we born are from above.
