Went humbly down from Jordan’s shore
To find a tomb beneath its wave!
2 With thee into thy watery tomb,
Lord, ’tis our glory to descend;
’Tis wondrous grace that gives us room
To share the grave of such a friend.
3 Yet, as the yielding waves give way
To let us see the light again,
So, on the resurrection day,
The bands of death proved weak and vain.
