     13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.(KJV)

A ransom for our souls hath found, 
Before Thy throne we sinners bend; 
To us Thy pardoning love extend.

Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,

The soul is raised from sin and death, 
Before Thy throne we sinners bend; 
To us Thy quickening power extend.

Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
