1Baptized into our Savior's death, we now rise to walk with Christ our Lord;
Thus in the future we walk, in newness of life with Christ our Lord;
For we have been thus planted in the likeness of His death,
Shall we not be, in power, raised up like His breath?

2We live anew; in this our Christian walk we must be earnest,
We live anew; in this our Christian walk we must be earnest,
For we have been thus planted in the likeness of His death,
Shall we not be, in power, raised up like His breath?
