Hymns - Thus Was the Great Redeemer Plunged - Текст песни

Thus was the great Redeemer Plunged
In Jordan's swelling flood,
To show he must be soon baptized
In tears, and sweat, and blood.

Thus was his sacred body laid
Beneath the yielding wave,
Thus was his sacred body raised
Out of the liquid grave.

Lord, we thy precepts would obey,
In thy own footsteps tread,
Would die, be buired, rise with thee,
Our ever-living head.
