658. Baptism

1 Mighty King, thy power display,
Give us grace to watch and pray;
Strengthened by thy Spirit’s might,
May we in thy ways delight.

2 For us Jesus was baptized
In tremendous agonies;
Mighty vengeance, like a flood,
Overwhelmed the Lamb of God.

3 Come, ye saints, with wonder view
What the Lord has done for you;
View the mighty waters roll,
And break in upon his soul.

4 View the swelling floods of wrath
Sink your Saviour low as death;
Grief him covered like a grave,
When he died, your souls to save.

5 Sons of God, lift up your eyes;
See your slaughtered Saviour rise!
He has conquered death and hell;
With him you shall ever dwell.
