Baptism. Luke 12. 50; John 15. 14; Acts 10. 47
1
Tuned with love divine, we sing,
 
Glory to our God and King;
 
Matchless in his grace and power;
 
We behold, and we adore.
2
Once in floods of wrath, the Lamb
 
Sank, and called it baptism;
 
Overwhelmed was he indeed,
 
That his chosen might be freed.
3
[But he conquered when he fell,
 
And destroyed the powers of hell;
 
He in holy triumph broke
 
Sin and death’s tremendous yoke.]
4
[One with Christ, our living Head,
 
We were each considered dead;
 
With him, too, we rose again,
 
And with him must ever reign.]
5
Now with pleasure we attend
 
To his wise and just command,
 
And by faith therein we view
 
What the Lord for us went through.
