We join with thankful hearts (Vol 3 No 86)


We come to join with thankful hearts

For new life just begun;

The pain has given way to joy;

The will to live has won.

 

In ancient symbol we unite

Christ Jesus and our lives;

In harmony with him we know

Abundant life arrives.

 

We symbolise with Jesus’ death

How evil is so strong;

Yet stronger still we bring to mind

His victory over wrong.

 

We symbolise new life with Christ;

New birth of what is right;

In him we see and understand

What brings us to the light.

 

Refreshing water, cleansing us

Reminds us of God’s grace;

We celebrate in sacrament

God’s welcome and embrace.
