Convinced of duty, Lord,
Before there we appear;
Excite our love and gratitude,
And fill with holy fear.
Buried with Christ we lie,
By faith in him we rise,
Behold him on Mount Calvary,
And trace him to the skies.
In his appointed rite,
As in a glass we see,
What once we were, what now we are,
Or ought at least to be.
Yet do we not expect
This rite will make us clean,
‘Tis Jesus’ blood, and that alone,
Can purify from sin.
