Baptism by William Billings — Lyrics

William Billings English Sacred Staff notation

Full Lyrics

1. O! How doth God our souls surprise, When He our conscience doth baptize Into the holy nature; Where, free from all offense and blame, We now possess in Christ the Lamb, The fullness of his stature. Now free Are we And shall ever In our Savior Stand perfected; With him to this grace elected. 2. Free from all Consciousness of Sin, We live where none can enter in; This when in Heart believed; Our Conscience answers towards God, As free from Sin, thro’ Jesu’s Blood, Nor can we be deceived: For he And we, In one Body, White and ruddy, Are compleated: In the Father’s Glory seated. 3. Salvation now in us is wrought; Nor is there one uneasy Thought, By which our Peace is spoiled: Baptiz’d into the Saviour’s Name, Our Conscience answers to the Lamb, Who ne’er can be defiled. Now blest We rest From what vexes And perplexes; We are fully In and as is Jesus holy.
