The Cyber Hymnal ‎#370

370. Baptize Us Anew

1. Baptize us anew
With power from on high,
With love, O refresh us!
Dear Savior, draw nigh.

Refrain
We humbly beseech Thee,
Lord Jesus, we pray,
With love and the Spirit
Baptize us today.

2. Unworthy we cry,
Unholy, unclean,
O wash us and cleanse us
From sin’s guilty stain. [Refrain]

3. O heavenly Dove,
Descend from on high!
We plead Thy rich blessing;
In mercy draw nigh. [Refrain]

4. O list the glad voice!
From Heaven it came:
Thou art My Belovèd,
Well pleasèd I am.
We praise thee, we bless Thee,
Dear Lamb that was slain,
We laud and adore Thee,
Amen and Amen.
