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)
“Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:10)
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.
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
“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)
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18)
“Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.” (Romans 6:9)
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.
