Debbie L.'s Baptism on May 24, 2006

O Lord, while we confess the worth of this, the outward seal, do Thou, the truths here-in set forth, to every heart reveal.

Death to the world we here avow, death to each fleshly lust. Newness of life our calling now. A risen Lord our trust.

And we, O Lord, who now partake of resurrection life, with every sin, for Thy dear sake, would be at constant strife.

Baptized into the Father's name, we'd walk as sons of God. Baptized in Thine, we own Thy claim, as ransomed by Thy blood.

Baptized into the Holy Ghost, we'd keep His temple pure. And make Thy grace our only boast, and by Thy strength endure.

Melody Bowley Peters, 1813-1856.
