Baptism

William Gadsby • English

Primary Scripture: Romans 6:4

Verse 1

Mighty King, thy power display, Give us grace to watch and pray; Strengthened by thy Spirit’s might, May we in thy ways delight.

Verse 2

For us Jesus was baptized In tremendous agonies; Mighty vengeance, like a flood, Overwhelmed the Lamb of God.

Verse 3

Come, ye saints, with wonder view What the Lord has done for you; View the mighty waters roll, And break in upon his soul.

Verse 4

View the swelling floods of wrath Sink your Saviour low as death; Grief him covered like a grave, When he died, your souls to save.

Verse 5

Sons of God, lift up your eyes; See your slaughtered Saviour rise! He has conquered death and hell; With him you shall ever dwell.
