Meekly in Jordan's holy stream
1
Meekly in Jordan's holy streamThe great Redeemer bowed;Bright was the glory's sacred beamThat hushed the wondering crowd.
2
Thus God descended to approveThe deed that Christ had done;Thus came the emblematic Dove,And hovered o'er the Son.
3
So, blessed Spirit, come to-dayTo our baptismal scene;Let thoughts of earth be far away,And every mind serene.
