Our Consecration Pledge

Dear Saviour, we thy will obey; Not of constraint, but with delight, Thy servants hither come today, To honor thine appointed rite.

O sacred rite! by thee to own The name of Jesus we begin; This is our consecration pledge, And symbol of our hope in him.

We count ourselves as dead to sin And thus we' re buried with our Lord; We plunge into the cleansing flood, And rising, live henceforth to God.

No more let sin and self-will reign Over our bodies, reckoned dead; But overcoming day by day, We' ll grow into our living Head.
