What was your vow and vision
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #182 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 What was your vow and vision,
revealed and recognized,
Christ, when you came to Jordan
and asked to be baptized?
Was there a sudden splendour
of prophets, priests and kings,
a wind that stirred the waters,
a blur of mighty wings?
2 Was this God's call, the crowning
of all you had become:
"Go, show and tell my coming,
my own, my chosen one?"
Did scripture join with scripture,
revealing in surprise
the triumph of a servant
rejected and despised?
3 We meet you at the water
and ponder why and how,
in hope that we may follow
where God is going now,
anointed with your Spirit,
reborn, and energized,
through deed and word proclaiming:
"In Christ we are baptized!" Topics: Church Year Baptism of Jesus; Faith; Holy Spirit Power of; Jesus Christ Son of David / Messiah; Vision / Dream; Wind Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 130
