When Jesus Comes To Be Baptised

Verse 1:
When Jesus comes to be baptized,
He leaves the hidden years behind,
The years of safety and of peace.
To bear the sins of humankind.Verse 2:
The Spirit of the Lord comes down,
Anoints the Christ to suffering,
To preach the word, to free the bound,
And to the mourner, comfort bring.Verse 3:
He will not quench the dying flame,
And what is bruised he will not break,
But heal the wound injustice dealt,
And out of death his triumph make.Verse 4:
O Spirit help us be like Christ:
To live in love and charity,
To walk in truth and justice now,
And grow in Christian dignity.Verse 5:
We praise you, God, source of all life,
We praise you, Christ, eternal Word,
We praise you Spirit, gracious gift;
Your triune presence fills our world.
