In Water We Grow
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:21 First Line: In water we grow, secure in the womb Lyrics: 1 In water we grow, secure in the womb,
and speechlessly know love's safety and room.
Baptizing and blessing, we publish for good
the freeing, caressing safekeeping of God.
2 In water we wash: the dirt of each day,
its trouble and rush are carried away.
In Christ recreated by love's cleansing art,
self will and self hatred dissolve and depart.
3 In water we dive, and cannot draw breath,
then surface alive, rebounding from death.
Our old self goes under, in Christ dead and drowned.
We rise, washed in wonder, by love clad and crowned.
4 In water we dwell, for by its deep flow
through bloodstream and cell, we live, think, and grow.
Praise God, love outflowing, whose well of new birth
baptizes our knowing, and waters the earth. Used With Tune: STANLEY BEACH

Teach us, O loving heart of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:17-18 Lyrics: 1 Teach us, O loving heart of Christ,
what only love can say:
'Father, forgive' and still forgive
the blindness of our way.
2 Torn is the world you came to save,
it bleeds from hands and side:
slow is your Church to bear the scars
of suffering love that died.
3 We have not found your way of peace,
though lack of peace is death:
we have not fed with word or bread
the hungry of the earth.
4 Christ in whose hands were thrust the nails,
who yet for us could pray:
forgive the things we have not done,
the words we do not say. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Food and Hunger; Forgiveness; Justice and Peace; Suffering Used With Tune: KHANDALLAH

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed? (At The Cross)
Author: Isaac Watts; Ralph E. Hudson Appears in 2,306 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 First Line: Alas! And did my Savior bleed? Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do!
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day! Topics: Atonement; Cross; Jesus Death; Lord's Supper Remembrance Used With Tune: [Alas! And did my Savior bleed?]
