Lo! On the Water’s Brink We Stand
Lo! On the Water’s Brink We Stand
1. Lo! on the water’s brink we stand,
To do the Father’s will,
To be baptized by his command,
And thus the word fulfil,
And thus the word fulfil.
2. Lord, we have sinned, but we repent
And put our sins away;
With joy receive the message sent
In this, the latter-day,
In this, the latter day.
3. Thou wilt accept our humble prayer,
And all our sins forgive;
For Jesus’ sake the sinner spare,
He died that we might live,
He died that we might live.
4. Our sinful bodies sink from view
Beneath the opening wave,
Then rise to life divinely new,
As from the bursting grave
As from the bursting grave
5. So when the trump of God shall blow,
The Saints shall burst the tomb;
Immortal beauty crown each brow,
With an eternal bloom,
With an eternal bloom.
