Hosanna to the church’s head,
Who suffered in our room and stead;
Baptised in tears, in sweat and blood,
He reconciled our souls to God.
Another baptism he ordains,
But not of sufferings or of pains;
His yoke is easy, burden light,
Nor shall we sink beneath its weight.
Do thou, dear Saviour, lead the way,
Declare thy will, and we’ll obey;
Through fire and water follow thee,
That where thou art, our souls may be.
Didst thou once seek the watery grave,
And wast thou plunged beneath the wave?
Sure it becometh us no less,
Thus to fulfil all righteousness.
Lord, pour thy holy Spirit down,
And this thine institution own;
By gracious signs, oh may we know,
That thou art with us here below.
With some delightful promise cheer,
Excite our love, dispel our fear,
Then we’ll depart with songs of praise,
To thee devote our future days.
