Lyrics

All who believe and are baptised
Shall see the Lord's salvation;
Baptised into the death of Christ,
They are a new creation.
Through Christ's redemption they shall stand
Among the glorious heav'nly band
Of ev'ry tribe and nation.

With one accord, O God, we pray:
Grant us Your Holy Spirit.
Help us in our infirmity
Through Jesus' blood and merit.
Grant us to grow in grace each day
By by this sacrament we may
Eternal life inherit.
