1 Lo! on the water's brink we stand,
To do the Father's will,
To be baptized by his command,
And thus the word fulfill.

2 O Lord, we've sinned, but we repent,
And put our sins away,
With joy receive the message sent

3 Thou wilt accept our humble pray'r,
And all our sins forgive;
For Jesus is the sinner's friend,
He died that we might live.

4 We lay our sinful bodies now
Beneath the opening wave,
Then rise to life divinely new,
As from the bursting grave.

5 So when the trump of God shall blow,
The saints shall burst the tomb.
