 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.
