Together in Song ‎#479

479. They that believe and are baptized

1 They that believe and are baptized
shall see the Lord's salvation;
baptized into the death of Christ,
they are a new creation:
through Christ's redemption they shall stand
among the glorious heavenly band
of every tribe and nation.

2 With one accord, O God, we pray:
Grant us your Holy Spirit,
and look on our infirmity
through Jesus' blood and merit.
O keep us in baptismal grace,
until at last we take our place
with all who life inherit.
