LyicsCome, all you sons of God, and view
Your bleeding Saviour's love to you:
Behold him sink with heavy woes,
And give his life to save his foes!
Here in the pure baptismal wave,
You see the emblem of his grave;
Come, all who would his laws obey,
And view the place where Jesus lay.
When you ascend above the flood,
Then call to mind your rising Lord;
You saints, lift up your joyful eyes;
Exulting see your Saviour rise.
You, too, are buri'd with your Lord,
Who in the water own his word,
And joyfully receive therein
Remission of your former sin.
Ascending from the stream, behold
An emblem of your life restor'd:
Live unto him who died for you,
And all his just commandments do.
