Thus was the great Redeemer Plunged In Jordan's swelling flood, To show he must be soon baptized In tears, and sweat, and blood. Thus was his sacred body laid Beneath the yielding wave, Thus was his sacred body raised Out of the liquid grave. Lord, we thy precepts would obey, In thy own footsteps tread, Would die, be buired, rise with thee, Our ever-living head.
