We love thy name, we love thy laws,

And joyfully embrace thy cause;

We love thy cross, the shame, the pain,

O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

2 We sink beneath the mystic flood;

O, bathe us in thy cleansing blood;

We die to sin, and seek a grave,

With thee, beneath the yielding wave.

3 And as we rise, with thee to live,

O, let the Holy Spirit give

The sealing unction from above,

The breath of life, the fire of love.
