1
'TIS down into the water
Where we believers go,
To serve our Lord and Master
In righteous acts below;
We lay our mortal bodies
Beneath the yielding wave,
An emblem of the Saviour,
When he laid in the grave.
2
The light of truth is spreading,
And shining now for thee;
And sweet its notes are sounding
To set the captive free.
And while this glorious message
Is circulating round,
Some souls exposed to ruin,
Redeeming grace have found.
3
And of that happy number,
I hope that I am one,
And Jesus he will finish
The work he has begun;
He'll cut it short in righteousness
And I'll for ever be
A monument of mercy,
To all eternity.
4
Come all ye elder brethren,
Who 're soldiers of the cross,
Who for the sake of Jesus
Have counted all things dross,
Come, let us take new courage,
That we may travel on,
Till Jesus comes in glory,
To take his children home.
