The Great Redeemer We Adore,
Who Came The Lost To Seek And Save
Went Humbly Down From Jordan’s Shore
To Find A Tomb Beneath Its Wave!
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.
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.
Thus, When Thou Shalt Again Appear,
The Gates Of Death Shall Open Wide:
Our Dust Thy Mighty Voice Shall Hear,
And Rise And Triumph At Thy Side.
