Lyics

DO we not know that solemn word,

That we are buried with the Lord?

Baptiz'd into his death, and then

Put off the body of our sin?



Our souls receive diviner breath,

Rais'd from corruption, guilt, and death;

So from the grave did Christ arise,

And live to God above the skies.



No more let sin or Satan reign

Within our mortal flesh again;

The various lusts we serv'd before

Shall have dominion now no more.
