If any man serve me, etc.
John 12:26.
See how the willing converts trace
The path their great Redeemer trod:
And follow through his liquid grave
The meek, the lowly Son of God!
2 Here they renounce their former deeds,
And to a heavenly life aspire,
Their rags for glorious robes exchanged,
They shine in clean and bright attire.
3 O sacred rite, by thee the name
Of Jesus we to own begin;
This is our resurrection pledge,
Pledge of the pardon of our sin.
4 Glory to God on high be given,
Who shows his grace to sinful men;
Let saints on earth, and hosts in heaven,
In concert join their loud Amen.
Stennett.
