Baptized into our Saviour's death
1
Baptized into our Saviour's death,Our souls to sin must die;With Christ our Lord we live anew,With Christ ascend on high.
2
There by his Father's side he sits,Enthroned divinely fair;Yet owns himself our Brother still,And our fore-runner there.
3
Rise from these earthly trifles, riseOn wings of faith and love;Above, our choicest treasure lies,—And be our hearts above.
4
Let not earth's pleasures draw us down;Lord, give us strength to rise,And through thy strong, attractive power,At last to gain the prize.
