Following Christ

Lord in humble sweet submishion
Here we meet to follow thee
Trusting in thy great Salvation
Which alone can make us free

Nought have we to claim as merit
All the duties we can do
Can no crown of life inherit
All the praise to thee is due

Yet we come in Christian duty
Down beneath the wave to go
O the bliss! the heavenly beauty
Christ the Lord was buried so

Come ye children of the kingdom
Follow him beneath the wave
Rise and show his resurrection
And proclaim his power to save
