Descending down into the flood,
We his great suff'rings there behold,
Who in deep waters for us stood,
While floods of wrath upon him roll'd.
And when beneath the waters laid,
Our breath suspended in their womb,
We call to mind how Jesus died,
And buried lay within the tomb.
As from the wat'ry grave we rise,
We see him from death's prison freed,
Discharg'd from sin, crown'd with the prize
Of endless life for all his seed.
This sign does to our faith declare
Our part in him who once was dead;
For into death immers'd we are,
And with him buried as our head.
And as the Father's glorious power
Did life eternal to him give,
So by this pledge he makes us sure
That as he lives we'll also live.
