mortal, we pass through beauty that decays,
yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Give thanks for those who made their life a light
caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night,
who touched the truth, who burned for what is right:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 And for our own, our living and our dead,
thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
a love not changed by time or death or dread:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

lying in darkness does its life retain,
in resurrection to grow green again:

Eternal Ruler, of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840-1904 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #154 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Scripture: Matthew 3:16 First Line: Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
of circling planets singing on their way;
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day;
rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
by virtue of thy well-belovèd Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
into our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
as one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things sweet and fair,
one with the joy that breaketh into song,
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the pow'r that makes thy children free
to follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heav'nly armour, Lord,
thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
our inspiration be thy constant word;
we ask no victories that are not thine:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
enough to know that we are serving thee. Topics: Christian unity; Grace and Providence; Pentecost; The Serving Community; Year A Baptism of Christ; Year A Epiphany 2; Year B Lent 1; Year B Proper 10; Year C Baptism of Christ; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #132 (2003) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Matthew 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
free it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies,
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and your love the flame. Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE

Down by the Jordan
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #12 (2009) Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Scripture: Matthew 3 First Line: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing Lyrics: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing,
Preaching a message the people found bold and surprising:
"God will forgive! Show that you'll change how you live!
Surely God's new day is rising!"
There by the river, the crowd came with great expectation:
"Are you God's Chosen One, sent here to rescue our nation?"
"No!" John replied. "He who is mightier than I
Judges and offers salvation."
Jesus, you went to be baptized with all of the others,
Taking your place among sinners, God's lost sons and daughters.
Then with great love, God's Spirit came as a dove!
Your work began in those waters.
Here in the Church, we are baptized and filled with God's Spirit.
Freed and forgiven, we're welcomed with joy! Can you hear it?
This is God's sign! This is how God says, "You're mine!"
Let's take the good news and share it!
