2. "Thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness," he said.

Then, faithful to the Lord’s commands, through Jordan’s flood was led.

3. Hark, a glad voice! The Father speaks from heaven’s exalted height:

"This is my Son, my well beloved in whom I take delight."

4. The Savior Jesus, well beloved! His Name we will profess,

like him desirous to fulfill God’s will in righteousness.

5. No more we’ll count ourselves our own but his in bonds of love.

Oh, may such bonds forever draw our souls to things above!
