1. Let heaven and earth rejoice,
And sacred anthems raise,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
For free and sovereign grace.


2. Behold the spotless Lamb,
Descending from above,
To bring the earthly strangers home,
Upon the wings of love.
3. O may our souls rejoice,
His precepts to obey;
Who to fulfil all righteousness,
Marked out the humble way.}}

4. Thus Jesus did descend,
Into the liquid stream;
Which teaches sinners not to scorn,
What him so well became.
5. O may we thin march on,
Nor fear what men shall say ;
Deny ourselves and take our cross,
Since Jesus leads the way .
6. We dare no longer stand,
As neuters to thy cause ;
But by the help of grace we'll yield
Obedience to thy laws.}}

7. Into the watery tomb,
We cheerfully descend,
In token of our faith and love
To our celestial friend.
8. Lord meet us here this day,
Who come to do thy will;
Grant us thy presence, dearest Lord,
Thy promised grace fulfil.
9. Descend, O heavenly dove,
And wing our souls away,
Up to that bright and happy shore
Of everlasting day.}}

To serve the Lord most high;
Deny myself, take up the cross,
And do it cheerfully.}}

1. Let heaven and earth rejoice,
And sacred anthems raise,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
For free and sovereign grace.

2. Behold the spotless Lamb,
Descending from above,
To bring the earthly strangers home,
Upon the wings of love.

3. O may our souls rejoice,
His precepts to obey;
Who to fulfil all righteousness,
Marked out the humble way.

 

4. Thus Jesus did descend,
Into the liquid stream;
Which teaches sinners not to scorn,
What him so well became.

5. O may we thin march on,
Nor fear what men shall say ;
Deny ourselves and take our cross,
Since Jesus leads the way .

6. We dare no longer stand,
As neuters to thy cause ;
But by the help of grace we'll yield
Obedience to thy laws.

 

7. Into the watery tomb,
We cheerfully descend,
In token of our faith and love
To our celestial friend.

8. Lord meet us here this day,
Who come to do thy will;
Grant us thy presence, dearest Lord,
Thy promised grace fulfil.

9. Descend, O heavenly dove,
And wing our souls away,
Up to that bright and happy shore
Of everlasting day.

 

10. This day I'll make my choice
To serve the Lord most high;
Deny myself, take up the cross,
And do it cheerfully.
