- Victory in Jesus

I heard an old, old story, 

How a Saviour came from glory, 

How He gave His life on Calvary 

To save a wretch like me: 

I heard about His groaning, 

Of His precious blood's atoning, 

Then I repented of my sins 

And won the victory. 

My Saviour, forever, 

He sought me and bought me 

with His redeeming blood; 

He loved me ere I knew Him. 

And all my love is due Him, 

He plunged me to victory 

Beneath the cleansing flood. 

I heard about His healing, 

Of His cleansing power revealing, 

How He made the lame to walk again 

And caused the blind to see; 

And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, 

Come and heal my broken spirit." 

And somehow Jesus came 

And brought to me the victory. 

My Saviour, forever, 

He sought me and bought me 

with His redeeming blood; 

He loved me ere I knew Him. 

And all my love is due Him, 

He plunged me to victory 

Beneath the cleansing flood. 

I heard about a mansion 

He has built for me in glory, 

And I heard about the streets of gold 

Beyond the crystal sea; 

About the angels singing, 

And the old redemption story, 

And some sweet day I'll sing up there 

The song of victory. 

My Saviour, forever, 

He sought me and bought me 

with His redeeming blood; 

He loved me ere I knew Him. 

And all my love is due Him, 

He plunged me to victory 

Beneath the cleansing flood. 

580-Baptism

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  

teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 

knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 

For he that is dead is freed from sin. 

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
