Verse 1

Now sin with reign unbroken, no more can rule my life,
Since God the Word hath spoken, That wins for me the strife;
Baptized, reborn by grace I am redeem'd from evil,
And have renounced the devil and all his works and ways.

Verse 2

How can I rightly treasure My Savior's death for me,
When seeking worldly pleasure, I turn to that in glee?
Oh, lest I go astray And unto sin surrender,
Dear Lord, be my Defender, My Life, my Light, my Way.

Verse 3

What profits Easter morning, The temple curtain rent,
When I neglect God's warning To pray and to repent,
When wandering abroad And yeilding to temptation,
I lose my soul's salvation, My home, my hope, my God.

Verse 4

My Jesus and my Savior, My Friend, my soul's delight
Oh help me not to waver, Though Adam offers fight!
Help me to hate all sin, And with the utmost candor
My heart to Thee Surrender, The crown of life to win.
