1. By the Jordan waters down, Jesus Christ, the Word,
Was proclaimed by Baptist John As the Lamb of God.
Bring us down to the font; in his death we're baptized.
Lead us up from the font: to new life in Christ we arise.

2. From the Jordan waters up, He, baptized by John,
Was, beneath the Heavenly Dove, Named Beloved Son.
Bring us down to the font; in his death we're baptized.
Lead us up from the font: to new life in Christ we arise.

3. Hear, the gentle voice of God, Lord of majesty,
Bids redemption's light to dawn, thund'ring over the sea.
Bring us down to the font; in his death we're baptized.
Lead us up from the font: to new life in Christ we arise.

4. God has burned away our guilt, that the Spirit bring
to each soul to bear His mark: prophet, priest and king.
Bring us down to the font; in his death we're baptized.
Lead us up from the font: to new life in Christ we arise.

5. Springs of water sanctified, As His glory's revealed,
Come draw waters from His font, Let creation be sealed.
Bring us down to the font; in his death we're baptized.
Lead us up from the font: to new life in Christ we arise.
