Here at the water's brink we Stand

Tune: CONFIRMATION (Lewis)
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Here at the water's brink we stand,
to do the Master's will,
to be baptized by his command,
and thus the word fulfill.

2 Dear God, accept our humble prayer,
and all our sins forgive,
as Jesus was the sinner's friend,
and died that we might live.

3 We lay our sinful bodies down
beneath the op'ning wave,
and rise to life divinely new
as from the bursting grave.
