Author: Adoniram Judson, 1788-1850 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #677 (2001) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine,
On these baptismal waters shine,
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.
2 We love Thy name, we love Thy laws,
And joyfully embrace Thy cause;
We love Thy cross, the shame, the pain,
O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
3 We sink beneath Thy mystic flood;
O bathe us in Thy cleansing blood;
We die to sin, and seek a grave,
With Thee, beneath the yielding wave.
4 And as we rise with Thee to live,
O let the Holy Spirit give
The sealing unction from above,
The breathe of life, the fire of love. Topics: Baptism amd Dedication; Jesus Christ His Blood; Jesus Christ His Cross; Jesus Christ His Name; Jesus Christ Our Love For Jesus; Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb Scripture: Matthew 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN
