Now Christ the very son of God
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn Book with Tunes #d289 (1912) Languages: English
Now Christ the very son of God
Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
Author: N. Selnecker, 1532-92; C. H. L. Schuette, 1843-1926 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #248 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now Christ, the sinless Son of God,
On sinners sends this saving flood;
This is the water which the Lord
Has joined unto His saving Word.
2 This flood, to cleanse sin's leprosy,
Mere earthly water cannot be;
Here water and God's gracious Word
Are joined; Salvation they afford!
3 "Go forth," says Christ, "My Word proclaim,
Baptize all nations in God's name;
All who are baptized and believe
Life everlasting shall receive."
4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To be baptized invites a host;
Here He is present, though unseen,
From all our sins He's washed us clean.
5 And so by our repentance, must
The old man, with his sins and lust,
Be daily drowned and then arise
God's own child, righteous, pure, and wise.
6 Since by this water and the Word
We're born again, we thank You, Lord.
Through life and death Yours may we be,
Your children through eternity. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
