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 from the wat'ry tomb restor'd,
Then call to mind your rising Lord;
You saints, lift up your joyful eyes;
Exulting see your Saviour rise.
You, too, are buried 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 his life restor'd;
Hence live to him who died for you,
And all his just commandments do.
