Hymn 477

Jesus who came, down to save

Meter: 7.7.7.7.D.

Scripture: Matt 3:17

1

Jesus who came, down to save,

Went down to River Jordan;

He came out from the water,

And we know Him as God’s Son,

Through the Father’s voice from heav’n

And the descent of the dove;

Jesus Christ, my great guide,

I would be baptised like thee.

2

In the garden, where He prayed,

Grief o'erflow’d Him like a flood;

On the cross of Calvary,

There, the Saviour died for me.

Nail’d together with the Lord,

My hope is that, Jesus died;

I have my place by His feet,

I suffer all things for Him.

3

In a new tomb was He laid,

He, the fear and dread removed;

He, the stone grave could not hold,

And we are glorified for aye;

I would be buried with Christ,

As the ordinance I partake,

As I’m raised from the water,

A new life with God to live.
