1 To Jordan’s stream the Savior goes
To do His Father’s will,
His breast with sacred ardor glows,
Each precept to fulfill.

2 Behold Him buried in the flood,
(The emblem of His grave)
Who from the bosom of His God
Came down, a world to save.

3 As from the water He ascends,
What miracles appear!
God with a voice His Son commends—
Let all the nations hear!

4 Ye youthful pilgrims, hear, rejoice—
Let this your courage raise:
What God approves, be this your choice,
And glory in His ways.
