Bechtel, b. 1959 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21, 22:1-5 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost, let Holy Scripture say: ourselves estranged, an Eden lost, and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day. 2 An ark of mercy rode the flood, but we, where waters swirled, rebuilt, impatient of the good, another fallen world: an unrepentant world. 3 A little child is Adam’s heir, is Adam’s hope and Lord. Sing joyful carols ev'rywhere that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored. 4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness; the angels sheathe their swords. In joyful carols all confess the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s! 5 Renewed, restored, we look ahead to glimpse that glorious day when in the new Jerusalem all griefs will pass away. Amen. Hallelujah! Topics: Justification Used With Tune: DETROIT

There is water in the river bringing life to tree and plant. Let creation praise its giver: there is water in the font. 3 Standing round the font reminds us of the Hebrews' climb ashore. Life is hallowed by the knowledge God has been this way before. There is water in the river bringing life to tree and plant. Let creation praise its giver: there is water in the font.
