Lord, when by baptism we confess

1
Lord, when by baptism we confess
  Our oneness in Thy death,
Oh, by Thy mercy and Thy grace,
  May Thou reveal its worth.
2
By baptism in Thy death we’re one
  And buried too with Thee:
Thus we’re forever dead to sin
  And from its bondage free.
3
By baptism in Thy death we’re one
  And buried too with Thee;
Thus to the world we bid farewell,
  From Satan’s slavery free.
4
We’re resurrected with Thee too,
  From death’s great pow’r set free;
Now fruit of holiness we bear
  In our new life with Thee.
5
We’re baptized unto Thy dear name,
  No more our own are we;
Thy steps we’d follow, for Thee live,
  And e’er be one with Thee.

Rom  6:3   Or are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

 6:4   We have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.

What a beautiful hymn to express the truth of baptism in Roman 6. Thank the Lord for the minister of the age.
