1 Wonder of wonders, here revealed:
God's covenant with us is sealed,
and long before we know or pray,
God's love enfolds us every day.
2 Here in this sacrament we see
God's grace unbound, for all, for me!
May we respond with joyful praise
in loving service all our days.
3 This child of God, though young or old,
we welcome now into Christ's fold,
to know with us God's loving care,
and all our joys and sorrows share.
4 Now we our vow of faith renew,
stretch wide our sights to global view,
and claim with Christians far and near
a larger family held dear.

In creating this text (for which she chose this existing tune as its setting), the author wished to emphasize two themes: that God loves us before we know how to love in return, and that through baptism we become part of a worldwide family unbounded by space or time.
