Lyrics

Proclaim, saith Christ, My wondrous grace
To all the sons of men;
He that believes, and is baptized,
Salvation shall obtain.

Let plenteous grace descend on those
Who, hoping in Thy Word,
This day have publicly declared
That Je­sus is their Lord.

With cheerful feet, may they advance
And run the Chris­tian race;
And thro’ the troubles of the way,
Find all sufficient grace.
