Lord, in humble, sweet submission

1

Lord, in humble, sweet submission,Here we meet to follow thee,Trusting in thy great salvation,Which alone can make us free.

2

Naught have we to claim as merit;All the duties we can doCan no crown of life inherit;All the praise to thee is due

3

Yet we come in Christian duty,Down beneath the wave to go;O the bliss! the heavenly beauty!Christ the Lord was buried so.
