当主基督降生为人，乃由圣灵而成孕；在祂工作开始之先，圣灵充满也有分。但在开始作工之时，祂仍受了圣灵浸；借此穿上上头能力，为尽神圣的职分。
Christ indeed was born of Spirit
When He came a man to be;
And before His service started,
With the Spirit filled was He.
Yet He still received the baptism
Of the Spirit from on high
When He came to start His service
And was clothed with pow'r thereby.

彼得和主其他门徒，都已由灵所重生；主向他们吹气之时，早已吸入了圣灵。但是后来又都受了主在圣灵里的浸，穿上能力，得着装备，神圣职分才能尽。
Peter and the Lord's disciples
All were Spirit born and filled,
Breathing in the Holy Spirit
As on them Christ breathed and willed.
Yet they still received the baptism
Of the Spirit from on high
When they were equipped for service,
And were clothed with pow'r thereby.

大数扫罗，以弗所人，撒玛利亚的信徒，都已得着圣灵重生，且有圣灵在内住。但当有人为其按手，又都经历圣灵浸，穿上上头来的能力，见证基督，事奉神。
Saul of Tarsus, the Ephesians,
And Samaritans believed;
Thus by Spirit generated,
Of His fulness they received.
Yet they still received the baptism
Of the Spirit from on high
When some laid their hands upon them,
And were clothed with pow'r thereby.

我们也在相信之时，都已由灵而重生，并且现今得饮于祂，天天享受祂丰盛。然而我们仍需经历圣灵里面的受浸，借此穿上上头能力，得着装备，尽职分。
We are also born of Spirit
On the day when we believe,
And of Him we now are drinking
As we daily Him receive.
Yet we also must be baptized
With the Spirit from on high,
Thus to be equipped for service,
And be clothed with pow'r thereby.

求主使我经历灵浸，这是我的真需要；上头能力给我穿上，为着召会的建造。愿主现在给我经历，我今如此迫切求；使我丰满经历灵浸，上头能力浇我透。
Lord, baptize us with Thy Spirit!
This is what we need today;
Clothe us with Thy heav'nly power,
Bring us under its full sway.
Oh, baptize us in this hour!
This is all our earnest cry;
Now on us repeat Thine answer,
Clothe with power from on high.
