Lord Jesus! we remember
 
The travail of Thy soul,
 
When, through Thy love’s deep pity,
 
The waves did o’er Thee roll;
 
Baptized in death’s dark waters,
 
For us Thy blood was shed;
 
For us Thou (Lord of glory)
 
Wast numbered with the dead.
“After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.” (1 Corinthians 11:25-26)
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.” (Isaiah 53:11)
“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” (Psalm 42:7)
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” (1 Corinthians 2:8)
2
O Lord! Thou now art risen,
 
Thy travail all is o’er;
 
For sin Thou once hast suffered — 
 
Thou liv’st to die no more;
 
Sin, death and hell are vanquished
 
By Thee, the church’s Head;
 
And lo! we share Thy triumphs,
 
Thou Firstborn from the dead.
“And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.” (1 Corinthians 6:14)
“Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.” (2 Corinthians 4:14)
3
Unto Thy death baptizèd,
 
We own with Thee we died:
 
With Thee, our Life, we’re risen,
 
And shall be glorified.
 
From sin, the world, and Satan,
 
We’re ransomed by Thy blood,
 
And here would walk as strangers,
 
Alive with Thee to God.
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” (1 Peter 2:11)
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:11)
