Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 4 hymnals Refrain First Line: There is water in the river Lyrics: 1 Out of deep, unordered water
God created land and life;
world of bird and beast, and later,
twosome people, husband, wife.
[Refrain:]
There is water in the river
bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
there is water in the font.
2 Water on the human forehead,
birthmark of the love of God,
is the sign of death and rising;
through the seas there runs a road. [Refrain]
3 Standing round the font reminds us
of the Hebrews' climb ashore.
Life is hallowed by the knowledge:
God has been this way before. [Refrain] Topics: The Church at Worship Holy Baptism; Baptism; Choruses and Refrains; Creation; Baptism of Jesus Year A; Proper 7 Year A; Easter 4 Year B Used With Tune: BALGEMANN
