The Stennetts of England - Joseph Stennett - Hymn Poems

In such a grave as this

    In such a grave as this
   The meek Redeemer lay,
When he, our soul to seek and save,
   Lear'd humbly to obey.

   See how the spotless lamb
   Descends into the stream
And teaches sinners not to scorn
   What him so well became.

   His body sanctifies
   The salutary flood,
And teaches us to plunge our souls
   I'th' fountain of his blood.

   Oh! sinners, wash away
   Your sins of crimson dye;
Bury'd with him, your sins shall all
   In dark oblivion lie.

   Rise, and ascend with him,
   A heavenly life to lead,
Who came to rescue guilty men
   From regions of the dead,

   Lord, see the sinner's tears,
   Hear his repenting cry;
Speak, and his contrite soul shall live;
   Speak, and his sins shall die:

   Speak with that mighty voice,
   Which one day wide shall spread
Its summons thro' the earth and sea,
   To wake and raise the dead.
