Tune: St Michael [Series: Poems to Saint Tunes 4]
(\'The Lord is risen indeed\')
John 1 v.29-34
***************
John Baptist Jesus saw
Said, Behold, Lamb for sure
The Lamb of God which takes away
Sin, now salvation\'s day
He takes away the sin
Of the world, all within
Joh said of Him, He ranks before
Me, greater evermore
John bare record, saying
The Spirit descending
I saw, like a dove, abiding
On Jesus, so resting
The Father who had sent
John, his message, Repent
Said, On whom you shall the Spirit
Rest, the anointing lit
The same is He who does
Baptise, and so He shows
He with the Spirit baptises
The Son of God saves us
