Lyics

JESUS, mighty King in Zion,

Thou alone our Guide shalt be:

Thy commission we rely on;

We would follow none but thee.



As an emblem of thy passion,

And thy vict'ry o'er the grave,

We, who know thy great salvation,

Are baptiz'd beneath the wave.



Fearless of the world's despising,

We the ancient path pursue,

Buried with our Lord, and rising

To a life divinely new.
