make all our moments calm and bright!
Chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light!

Humble souls, who seek salvation
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #428 (1844) Meter: 8.7 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 Languages: English

Eternal and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.
2 O wide embracing, wondrous Love,
We read you in the sky above;
We read you in the earth below,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow.
3 We read you best in him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame,
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.
4 We read your pow'r to bless and save
E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light
We read the fullness of your might.
6 O love of God, our shield and stay
Thro' all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, forever blest. Topics: Burial; Creation; Jesus Christ; Love of God for Us Languages: English Tune Title: DE TAR

There is a balm in Gilead

and think my work’s in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit
revives my soul again. [Refrain]
2 If you cannot preach like Peter,
if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,

and if you lack for knowledge
he'll ne'er refuse to lend. [Refrain]

Hymn 52
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.52 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Acts 2:38 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics:
'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 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!

Their Rock is our salvation;
Th' eternal arms, their dear abode,
We make our habitation.
We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought,
We seek Thee as Thy saints have sought
In every generation.
2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,
Their song to us descendeth;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us His music lendeth:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on—
The song that never endeth.
3 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
The same sweet theme endeavor;
Unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.

Thus Saith the Mercy of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #190 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Acts 2:39 Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord:
"I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy numerous race, and they
shall be a seed to me."
2 Abram believed the promised grace
and gave his child to God,
but water seals the blessing now
that once was sealed with blood.
3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
to our forefathers giv'n;
he takes young children to his arms,
and calls them heirs of heav'n.
4 Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
nor from the promise of his grace
blots out his children's name.
5 Thus to the parents and their seed
shall thy salvation come;
and numerous households meet at last
in one eternal home.
