Lyics

We love thy name, we love thy laws,

And joyfully embrace thy cause;

We love thy cross, the shame, the pain,

O Lamb of God! for sinners slain.



We sink beneath the mystic flood:

Oh bathe us in thy cleansing blood!

We die to sin, and seek a grave

With thee beneath the yielding wave.



And as we rise, with thee to live,

Oh let the Holy Spirit give

The sealing unction from above,

The breath of life, the fire of love!
