Once in the Blest Baptismal Waters

Verse 1

Once in the blest baptismal waters I put on Christ and made him mine; now, numbered with God's sons and daughters, I share his peace and love divine. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray your peace may bless my dying day.

Verse 2

His body and his blood I've taken in his blest supper, feast divine; now I shall never be forsaken for I am his and he is mine. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray your peace may bless my dying day.

Verse 3

Though death may come today, tomorrow, I know in Christ I perish not; he grants the peace that stills all sorrow, gives me a robe without a spot. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray your peace may bless my dying day.

Verse 4

And thus I live in God contented and die without a thought of fear; to God's good plans I have consented, my faith is focused, firm, and clear. By grace, in Jesus' name I say, "Lord, you will bless my dying day!"
