7s & 6s. For the same occasion.

1 FATHER, Son, and Holy Ghost,
In solemn power come down!
Present with thy heavenly host,
Thine ordinance to crown:
See a sinful worm of earth!
Bless to him the cleansing flood,
Plunge him, by a second birth,
Into the depths of God.

2 Let the promised inward grace
Accompany the sign;
On his new-born soul impress
The character divine;
Father, all thy name reveal!
Jesus, all thy name impart!
Holy Ghost, renew, and dwell
For ever in his heart!
