[Baptized into our Saviour's death]

“Baptized into his death.”—Rom. vi. 3.

Baptized into our Saviour's death,
Who for our sins gave up His breath;
Lord! grant us grace from day to day,
Our baser tendencies to slay.
Entombed with Him, our risen Head,
May we to sin and sense be dead;
And, passing through death's gate, the grave,
Our joyful resurrection have;

230

Through Him who died, and buried lay,
And rose upon the appointed day,—
Thy Blessed Son, our glorious Lord;
For ever be His name adored.
