Buried beneath the yielding wave

Representative Text

1 Buried beneath the yielding wave,
The great Redeemer lies;
Faith views Him in the wat'ry grave,
And thence beholds Him rise.

Chorus:
Planted together in His death!
Buried, in likeness, with Him!
Risen, thence, as the Lord was raised,
To walk a new life in Him.

2 And thus do willing souls, today,
Their ardent zeal express,
And, in the Lord's appointed way,
Fulfill all righteousness. [Chorus]

3 With joy we in His footsteps tread,
And would His cause maintain;
Like Him be numbered with the dead,
And with Him rise again. [Chorus]

4 Now we, blest Savior, would to Thee
Our grateful voices raise;
Washed in the fountain of Thy blood,
Our lives shall be Thy praise. [Chorus]

He was pastor of a Baptist society at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, until his death in 1795. In 1770, he received the degree of M.A. from the Baptist College in Providence, Rhode Island. He published several discourses and hymns. "His hymns, to the number of 830, were published in 1818, with a recommendation from Robert Hall."

Mason used (often obscure) biblical names for his tune titles; Azmon, a city south of C…

DUNDEE (Ravenscroft)

DUNDEE first appeared in the 1615 edition of the Scottish Psalter published in Edinburgh by Andro Hart.
