Jesus when thou wast on the earth,
Thy life by all was seen;
Perfect and blameless from thy birth,
Thou has our model been.
Others had folly to confess,
And guilt to wash away;
Yet to fulfil all righteousness,
Thou was baptized as they.
Thou wast baptized in Jordan’s stream,
Thy followers we will be;
We, who thou camest to redeem,
Are thus baptized like thee.
And answering to this outward sign,
May we be in thy sight;
May all our hearts be pure as thine,
And all our ways be right.
