“Wash, O God, Our Sons & Daughters”
Where your cleansing waters flow
Number them among your people
Bless as Christ blessed long ago
Weave them garments bright and sparkling
Compass them with love and light
Fill, anoint them, send your Spirit
Holy dove and heart’s delight
We who bring them long for nurture
By your milk may we be fed
Let us join your feast partaking
Cup of blessing, living bread
God, renew us, guide our footsteps
Free from sin and all its snares
One with Christ in living, dying
By your Spirit, children, heirs
Oh, how deep your holy wisdom
Unimagined, all your ways
To your name be glory, honor
With our lives we worship, praise
We your people stand before you
Water-washed and Spirit born
By your grace, our lives we offer
Recreate us; God, transform!
