| 'Twas the commission of our Lord | C |
| Go teach the nations and baptize | D |
| The nations have received the word | E |
| Since he ascended to the skies | D |

| He sits upon th' eternal hills | F |
| With grace and pardon in his hands | G |
| And sends his cov'nant with the seals | H |
| To bless the distant British lands | G |

| Repent and be baptized he saith | I |
| For the remission of your sins | J |
| And thus our sense assists our faith | I |
| And shows us what his gospel means | K |

| Our souls he washes in his blood | L |
| As water makes the body clean | M |
| And the good Spirit from our God | N |
| Descends like purifying rain | O |

| Thus we engage ourselves to thee | I |
| And seal our cov'nant with the Lord | C |
| O may the great eternal Three | I |
| In heav'n our solemn vows record | C |
