Lyrics:
Washed in your waters, baptized with Jesus,
your sons and daughters, risen anew,
each day we live, God, we drink your blessings.
Our lives we give, then, gladly to you.
Not our deserving, but your indwelling
blessing us, serving, will be our guide.
Source of our living, Word of your Presence,
Spirit of giving, stay by our side.
Filled with your Spirit, one in your Body,
Christ, we inherit mercy and light.
Guide and defend us, and daily send us
into the world to share your delight.
Spirit who frees us, give us your courage,
to walk with Jesus all of our days,
blessing and healing, justice revealing,
till all the world sings in thanks and praise.

Lyrics:
Give us eyes, O God of justice, to see clearly as you see:
not to turn away but bravely face oppression’s misery.
Steel our hearts to see injustice, and to feel our siblings’ pain.
Give us sorrow; give us rage; but let our anger be humane.
Give us eyes, O God of mercy, to see evil as you see:
holding victim and oppressor in its jaws, and neither free.
God, refine our wrath and grief with yours ‘till only love remains.
Give us loving rage and courage to step up and break the chains.
Give us eyes, O God of wholeness, to see all the love you sow,
and by grace to set it free: in every person let it flow.
Let our wrath be flames of love and not the burn of power denied,
till we gently, firmly, mightily pry the gates of justice wide.

This is your presence, this is your rising:
loving anew in your people dear.
Christ we are baptized into your service:
gentle and healing in all the strife,
vessels of grace, who bear your redemption,
bright with the light of eternal life.
Christ we are baptized your New Creation,
all of the world made new by your grace:

Christ, begotten of the love of God, here before the world’s first day,
Christ the Alpha and Omega, Christ the source, the end, the way,
Christ, the promised One, still coming: come, O Light, and show the way,
evermore and evermore.
Christ, we waken to your coming at an unexpected hour,
bringing love and justice with you, with divine grace and power
May our waiting be our praising; in our hope may courage flower,
evermore and evermore.
Christ, we bring our gifts to honor you, and we come on bended knee,
offering our hearts and living, that to you the glory be.
May your light adorn and guide us, now and in eternity,
evermore and evermore.
Christ, your glory fills the universe, blessing us with joyful mirth;
and your grace renews our spirits, granting us a second birth.
Come, O Christ, and rule among us, bringing peace to all the earth,
evermore and evermore. Amen.
