Baptized, O Christ, into Thy Death

Who: Anna Hoppe was a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran and is one of the few women hymnwriters. (Her only hymn in LSB is 841, "O Son of God, in Galilee") The hymn below is found in her "Songs of the Church Year," published in 1928.
Note: Based on Romans 6 (the text of my first sermon!).
Tune: The meter is 87 87 887 and I recommend ES IST DAS HEIL (LSB 601).

Baptized, O Christ, into Thy death,

Entombed with Thee, my Savior,

Dead unto sin, in steadfast faith

I grasp Thy blood-bought favor.

Reborn in Thy baptismal flood,

And ris'n with Thee, blest Son of God

In Thy new life I glory!

Death has no more dominion now;

I fear no condemnation

Since by Thy resurrection Thou

Hast sealed my soul's salvation.

A giving Father's love is mine.

Thy Spirit, in Thy Word divine,

Declares me free forever.

From satan's hellish cords released,

I'm now an heir of heaven.

Thy sacrifice, O blest High Priest,

Sin from its pow'r has riven.

The carnal flesh is crucified;

In godly strength, by Thee supplied,

I overcome temptation.

Grant me a pure and contrite heart

By virtue of Thy merit;

Thy sanctifying pow'r impart

Through Thy indwelling Spirit.

A pilgrim in this world of strife,

O may Thy resurrection life

My faith increase and strengthen.

Thy Sacrament of Baptism, Lord,

Abounds in consolation.

Faith rests securely in Thy Word,

Blest sureness of salvation!

Redeemed, forgiven, justified,

O let me in Thy grace abide

And flee all sinful pleasure.

Oh, may Thy life in holiness

Be in my life reflected,

Till in Thy robe of righteousness,

Healed, glorified, perfected,

In Thy pure likeness I shall dwell,

And praise Thee, blest Immanuel,

Forever and forever.

Anna Hoppe, alt.
