Hope

Verse 1

When to the sacred font we came, did not the rite proclaim, that, washed from sin, and all its stains, new creatures we became?

Verse 2

With Christ the Lord we died to sin; with him to life we rise, to life which, now begun on earth, is perfect in the skies.

Verse 3

Too long enthralled to Satan's sway, we now are slaves no more; for Christ hath vanquished death and sin, our freedom to restore.
