1. Down into the flowing river,
Lo, the lamb of God we see;
There he speaks in clear example:
Take the cross and follow me.
Chorus:
Gently buried with my Savior,
Let me sink beneath the wave;
Crucified to earth forever,
Hence alone to God I live.
2. Now the sacred waters cover,
O’er the holy Son of God;
Thus he washed me in the fountain
Of his sin-atoning blood.
3. Here I witness a confession
As I merge from human sight,
In the tomb of yielding water,
That the blood has made me white.
4. Oh, how sweet to follow Jesus,
In this ordinance to show
That we’re cleansed in life’s pure river,
Even whiter than the snow.
