Gathered where the waters glide

Representative Text

1 Gathered where the waters glide,
Minds intent upon Thy will,
See Thy children drawn aside
From the world and all its ill.

2 Sanctify the cleansing wave,
Arcade to Thy kingdom fair;
Typical of Jesus' grave;
Sing that we His name shall bear.

3 Emblem of another birth,
Sins remitted, pardon sealed,
Father, send Thy Spirit forth,
To Thy people stand revealed.

4 Like the coming of the spring
When the winter's reign is o'er,
We another life begin,
Help us that we sin no more.
