Hymn 122. (8’s & 7’s.)
1 Come! all ye who seek salvation,
Walk the path that Jesus trod;
be baptized for sin’s remission,
Thus obey the law of God.
. . .
4 Buried with the Lord, and rising
To a life divinely new,
Fearless, though the world despising,
In the heav’nly way pursue (Joel J. Johnson, Hymns
of Praise for the Young: Selected from the Songs of Joel [Salt Lake
City: Deseret News Company, 1882], 124. 125)
HYMN 123. (S. M.)
1 The joy that’s born of grace,
Is in the Gospel found.
Prepared for all of Adam’s race
Who will obey the sound.
2 Now, all who wish to win
Salvation, must believe,
And be baptized for all their sin,
The spirit to receive.
3 Come, then, with all your woes;
Of them you shall be healed,
For a spring of healing water flows
From a celestial field.
4 Ye thirsty, come and taste,
And living waters, then,
Within you shall spring up in haste;
You’ll no more thirst again. (Ibid., 125-26)
HYMN 128 (S. M.)
1 O sinner, now be wise!
Eternal life to win;
Arise, repent, and be baptized,
And wash away your sin. (Ibid., 129)
HYMN 129. (S. M.)
1 Now is the day of grace:
O sinner, why delay
To seek your Father’s face,
While it is called to-day?
2 Your sins you now may leave;
Oh, then, no longer wait!
Too soon the Spirit you may grieve,
And then ‘twill be too late.
3 Then come, obey his word,
Repenting of your sin,
and be baptized into the Lord,
And life eternal win. (Ibid., 130)
HYMN 132. (C. M.)
1 O sinner! hear the Gospel word,
And all its truth believe;
Come, be baptized into the Lord,
And life for death receive.
2 Put off the old man of your sin,
Put Christ, the new man, on;
And let his Spirit reign within,
Till all your sins are gone.
3 No more let sin and darkness gain
Possession of your breast;
But walk with Christ, till you shall reign
In his eternal rest. (Ibid., 132)
