Verse 1
We long to move and breathe in thee,
Inspired with thine own breath,
To live thy life, O Lord, and be
Baptized into thy death.
Verse 2
Thy death to sin we die below,
But we shall rise in love;
We here are planted in thy woe,
But we shall bloom above.
Verse 3
Above we shall thy glory share,
As we thy cross have borne;
E’en we shall crowns of honor wear,
When we the thorns have worn.
