Baptism Hymn

This Sunday we will be having baptism.  Let the lyrics to this Baptism Hymn serve as the basis for your prayerful preparation for worship.
You can hear this and other great hymns at the website


Sweet the sign that now reminds me, 
of my Savior’s sacrifice;
Of the ransom freely given, 
bought at such a costly price.
Oh, what pleasure, oh, what pleasure, 
to be buried with my Lord!

Standing at this tomb of water, 
emblem of my Savior’s grave;
Even though I feel unworthy, 
can I run from mercy’s wave?
No! I’ll enter, No! I’ll enter; 
Jesus entered there to save.

Should it take my worldly pleasures, 
or it bring great shame or loss,
Yet the fragrant, blest reflection:  
I have been where Jesus was,
Will revive me, will revive me, 
when I faint beneath the cross.

Then when baptized in His glory, 
praise to Jesus, I will sing,
Loudly with the ransomed millions, 
worshiping the King of kings!
All creation, all creation, 
love and worship then will bring!
