9890. Do We Not Know That Solemn Word?

1 Do we not know that solemn word,
That we are buried with the Lord,
Baptized into His death, and then
Put off the body of our sin?

2 Our souls receive diviner breath
Raised from corruption, guilt, and death;
So from the grave did Christ arise,
And lives to God above the skies.

3 Nor more let sin or Satan reign
Over our mortal flesh again;
The various lusts we served before
Shall have dominion now no more.
