 1  What a blessed fact! What a tiding glad!

       In the Spirit we have been baptized;

    Take this settled fact, nothing need we add,

       In the Spirit we have been baptized.

 

      Take it! take it!

Take now this fact by living faith;

      Take it! take it!

Take now this accomplished fact by faith.

 

 2  In the testament it is clearly told,

       In the Spirit we have been baptized;

    It is so complete, we need only hold,

       In the Spirit we have been baptized.

 

      Hold it! hold it!

Hold now this fact by living faith;

      Hold it! hold it!

Hold now this accomplished fact by faith.

 

 3  Christ upon the Church hath His Spirit poured,

       In the Spirit we have been baptized;

    Share her portion now, share in full accord,

       In the Spirit we have been baptized.

 

      Share it! share it!

Share now this fact by living faith;

      Share it! share it!

Share now this accomplished fact by faith.

 

 4  With the Body right, on the Body ground,

       Move and act on this accomplished fact;

    Sins and doubts condemn, wait no more around,

       But by living faith now move and act.

 

      Act now! act now!

Act on this fact by living faith;

      Act now! act now!

Act on this accomplished fact by faith.
