Representative Text

1. O Lord, while we confess the worth
Of this, the outward seal,
Teach us the truths herein set forth,
Our very own to feel.

2. Death to the world we here avow,
Death to each fleshly lust;
Newness of life our portion now,
A risen Lord our trust.

3. And we, O Lord, who now partake
Of your eternal life,
With every sin, for your dear sake,
Would be at constant strife.

4. Baptized into the Father’s name,
We walk as heirs of God;
Baptized in yours, with joy we claim
The merits of your blood.

5. Baptized into the Holy Ghost,
We prove his mighty pow’r,
And making you our only boast,
Obey you hour by hour.
