GRH 555 This Rite Our Blest Redeemer Gave

(1)
This rite our blest Redeemer gave
To all in Him believing;
He leads us through this hallow’d wave,
To His example cleaving.

(2)
I’ll follow then my glorious Lord,
Whate’er the ties I sever;
He saved my soul, and left His Word
To guide me now and ever.

(3)
Jesus, to Thee I yield my all;
In Thy kind arms enfold me;
My heart is fixed, no fears appall,
Thy gracious pow’r shall hold me.

(4)
How sweet the way divine to take,
So clear in Jordan’s story;
On souls that follow Christ shall break
The Spirit’s beam of glory.
