This rite our blest Redeemer gave

1

This rite our blest Redeemer gaveTo all in him believing;He bids us seek this hallowed grave,To his example cleaving.

Chorus.

I'll follow then my glorious Lord,Whate'er the ties I sever;He saves my soul, he's left his wordTo guide me now and ever.

2

For me the cross and shame to bear,Dear Saviour, thou wast willing;Nor would I shrink thy yoke to wear,All righteousness fulfilling.

3

Jesus, to thee I yield my all;In thy kind arms infold me;My heart is fixed,—no fears appall,Thy gracious power shall hold me.
