Song For Baptism

Into the water now I go to die That I may live again Live now O Christ for me, and no more I Glory, I am born again To your Holy Spirit I yield my life Yield it again for me By grace alone I win in all my strife Thanks, O Lord you ransomed me Under the water I take your image now Day by day led by you Your sweet covenant and law becomes my vow Pray for me, Lord, keep me true. By faith alone my flesh shall die in grace O Christ, now cover me Make me a witness in thy full embrace Hosannah, you ransomed me.
