River of Baptising Water
(for Baptism)
- 1. River of baptising water
Flows into the Church's flood,
Drowning satan's subtle power,
Adding to the stream of good. - John the Baptist urged the water
Wash our Saviour in its tide;
Then He drowned our sin in water
Flowing from the His pierced side.
- Flowing stream of living water,
Let us welcome her/him today,
Stand beside her/his faithful sponsors
Teaching him/her to love and pray. - Hopeful candle of the Spirit,
Kindly shepherd, Faithful Son,
Loving Father of your people:
God bless the child, three in one.
