William Billings - Baptism - текст песни (слова)

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.
