Hymns 7 - Twas the Commission of Our Lord текст песни
Текст
'Twas the commission of our Lord,
?Go teach the nations, and baptize:?
The nations have received the word
Since He ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th'eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in His hands;
And sends His cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant darkened lands.
[originally ?the distant British lands]
?Repent, and be baptized,? He saith,
?For the remission of your sins:?
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what His Gospel means.
Our souls He washes in His blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to Thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In Heav'n our solemn vows record!
?Go teach the nations, and baptize:?
The nations have received the word
Since He ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th'eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in His hands;
And sends His cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant darkened lands.
[originally ?the distant British lands]
?Repent, and be baptized,? He saith,
?For the remission of your sins:?
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what His Gospel means.
Our souls He washes in His blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to Thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In Heav'n our solemn vows record!
