When Jesus Christ Was Baptized

Lyrics

1. 1. When Jesus Christ was baptized

   Down in the River Jordan,

   Three members of the Godhead

   Were present there in love.

   The Father spoke from heaven

   When Jesus Christ was baptized;

   The Holy Ghost descended

   As gently as a dove.

2. 2. And now when I am baptized,

   I’ll follow his example—

   Be baptized by immersion

   Through sacred priesthood pow’r.

   Then I will be a member

   Of Heav’nly Father’s kingdom

   And have the Holy Spirit

   To guide me ev’ry hour.
