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)

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.

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.
“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. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.” (Romans 6:4-8)
