Jesus, through thee we are forgiven,
To thee our bliss we owe,
Eternal life with God in heaven,
And countless comforts now.
Thy day of agony and strife
Brought heavenly blessings down;
Thy death hath gained our endless life,
Thy cross hath won our crown.
And since as faith’s appointed test,
Thou bidst us be baptized,
Lord we obey, and count it blessed,
To be for thee despised.
By this immersion we confess
That we are wholly thine;
Washed by thy blood from guiltiness,
And by thy grace from sin.
