The Baptist preached
of Him that was to come
Acknowledging the
Christ's superior worth;
"Repent!
Repent!" he vehemently urged,
Striving to smooth
the places that were rough.
John owned the Lamb
by whom all would be done
To take away the
evil of the world;
He learned the grace
of the incarnate Word
Who saw baptism as
not superfluous
Identifying with
those in whom God worked.
And John beheld the
Spirit, as a dove,
Gladly descend upon
the holy One
Whom God extolled
as His beloved Son.
