Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

575 (8.7.8.7.D) John Fawcett

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 behavior,

Own Him as your sov'reign guide.

Hear the bless'd Redeemer call you,

Listen to His gracious voice;

Dread no ills that can befall you

While you make His way your choice.

Jesus says, "Let each believer

Be baptizèd in my name;"

He Himself in Jordan's river

Was immersed beneath the stream.

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.
