Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #332 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 Freed in Christ from death and sin,
slaves no more to self within,
let abundant life begin
at the call of Christ.
2 Out of darkness into light,
given grace to walk aright,
strength and courage for the fight,
turned to follow Christ.
3 In the Spirit's life to grow,
day by day his fullness know,
and in fruitful lives to show
we belong to Christ.
4 Bearers of his name and sign,
sharers in his bread and wine,
one with him in life divine,
keeping faith with Christ.
5 Praise him for his love outpoured,
lives renewed and hopes restored;
praise the everlasting Lord,
glory be to Christ! Topics: The Baptism of Christ; Atonement; Baptism; Christian Initiation; Conflict; Courage; Dedication of people; Discipleship; Holy Communion; Holy Spirit Fruit of; Light; Proper 8 Year A Scripture: Romans 6:17 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARITY
