Scripture Verse

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:3–4

Lyrics

Do we not know that so­lemn word,
That we are bur­ied with the Lord,
Baptized in­to His death, and then
Put off the bo­dy of our sin?

Our souls re­ceive di­vin­er breath
Raised from cor­rupt­ion, guilt, and death;
So from the grave did Christ arise,
And lives to God above the skies.

Nor more let sin or Sa­tan reign
Over our mor­tal flesh again;
The va­ri­ous lusts we served be­fore
Shall have do­min­ion now no more.
