| lyric | 1. It's down into the water
That we as converts go,
To serve our Lord and Master
in humlbeness below;
I have receiv’d my bounty,
And all my marital dress,
The ring of love and favor,
The robe of righteoousness.
2. ’Twas down into the Jordan
The Savious went with John;
The Father spoke from heaven,
„Behold my well-lov’d Son!
Earthborn to save the sinner,
Salvations way to tell,
O’er sin and death the winner,
And Me, He pleases well! |
