Lyrics: (sopranos) Therefore repent,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
(tenors) And lay hold upon the gospel of Christ
(basses) Which shall be set before you.

(altos) Therefore repent,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
(sopranos) And lay hold upon the gospel of Christ
(altos) which shall be set before you.

(basses and tenors) Therefore repent,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
and lay hold upon the gospel of Christ
which shall be set before you.

(sopranos and altos) And if it so be that ye believe in Christ,
And are baptized, first with water,
Then with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
Following the example of our Savior,

(tenors and basses) According to that which he hath commanded us,
it shall be well with you in the day of judgement.

And if it so be that ye believe in Christ,
(tenors and altos) And are baptized, first with water,
Then with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
Following the example of our Savior,

(tenors and altos) According to that which he hath commanded us,
it shall be well with you in the day of judgement.

(All) Therefore repent,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
and lay hold upon the gospel of Christ
which shall be set be fore you,

And if it so be that ye believe in Christ,
and are baptized, first with water,
then with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
following the example of our Savior,

According to that which he hath commanded us,
it shall be well with you in the day of judgement.

Therefore repent,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
and lay hold upon the gospel of Christ
which shall be set before you.
