{
Baptized into Our Saviours Death
EVAN-William Henry Havergal (arr. Lowell Mason)
Baptized into Our Saviour's Death
}
Baptized into Our Saviour's death,
Our souls to sin must die;
With Christ our Lord we live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.
There by His Father's side He sits,
Enthroned divinely fair;
Yet owns Himself our Brother still,
And our forerunner there.
Rise from these earthly trifles, rise
On wings of faith and love;
Above, our choicest treasure lies,
And be our hearts above.
Let not earth's pleasures draw us down;
Lord, give us strength to rise,
And thro' Thy strong attractive pow'r,
At last to gain the prize.
