Humble souls, who seek salvation

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.7 Appears in 124 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:38 Lyrics: 1 Humble souls, who seek salvation Through the Lamb’s redeeming blood, Hear the voice of revelation; Tread the path that Jesus trod. Flee to him, your only Saviour; In his mighty name confide; In the whole of your behaviour, Own him for your Sovereign Guide. 2 Hear the blest Redeemer call you; Listen to his gracious voice; Dread no ills that can befall you, While you make his ways your choice. Jesus says, “Let each believer Be baptizèd in my name.” He himself, in Jordan’s river, Was immersed beneath the stream. 3 Plainly here his footsteps tracing, Follow him without delay; Gladly his command embracing; Lo! your Captain leads the way. View the rite with understanding; Jesus’ grave before you lies; Be interred at his commanding; After his example rise. Topics: Baptism

Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, forever blest. Topics: Burial; Creation; Jesus Christ; Love of God for Us Used With Tune: DE TAR

Keep on the song forever! Safe in the same dear dwelling place, Rich with the same eternal grace, Bless the same boundless Giver. Amen.
