The darkness brokenAt Your mighty, holy WordWith the truth of mercy spoken,All the gloomy void deterred.Fill enlightened hearts with praiseAt the wonder of Your ways.With the dismal fog dispelling,Thankful hearts Your promise telling. Lord of life! Our King anointed,To the river shore You cameAt the blessed time appointedTo assume Your royal name.Claimed as God the Father's Son,Now claim us, whom You have wonIn the ever-living waters.We are royal sons and daughters. Lord of love! Our Adam buriedIn Your soul-renewing flood.To the cross our sins were carriedAnd were drowned in purest blood.Now we daily die to sin,And we daily rise again!Through the Spirit, we are livingIn the freedom You are giving. Lord of all! You hold creation;Keep Your children safe from harm.Your redeeming compensationLeads us to our Father's arms.With Your Spirit, make us whole:Cleanse our spirits to extol:Let our lives foretell the storyOf Your coming throne and glory.
