O Lord, while we
confess the worth
Of this the
outward seal,
Do Thou the
truths herein set
forth
To every heart
reveal.
Death
to the world we
here avow,
Death to each
fleshly lust;
Newness of life
our calling now,
A risen Lord our
trust.
And we, O
Lord, who now
partake
Of resurrection
life,
With every sin,
for Thy dear
sake,
Would be at
constant strife.
Baptized into
the Father’s
Name,
We’d walk as sons
of God;
Baptized in Thine,
we own Thy claim
As ransomed by
Thy blood.
Baptized into
the Holy Ghost,
We’d keep His
temple pure,
And make Thy
grace our only
boast,
And by Thy
strength endure.
