A Hymn for Baptism of Our Lord

Unfurled

(Sung to the tune: IRBY  878777

“Once in Royal David’s City")

Here again in word and water

God is in our day and time.

We are now God’s dear children

Living out the grand design.

As we walk the holy way

We are Christ’s body today.

Now receive the blessed cup

Wine on lips will speak God’s truth.

Prophets rise to give their witness,

Amidst chaos, lies, a ruse.

You are called to be incarnate,

Love in flesh for those being harm`ed.

Rise, Oh Church, open to the day

God will come and have God’s way:

Nations live in harmony

And all people will be free

To embrace a healthy world

God’s creation now unfurled.
