Christ, when for us

Christ, when for us you were baptized,
God's Spirit on you came,
as peaceful as a dove and yet
as urgent as a flame.

God called you the beloved Son,
called you the servant true,
sent you the Kingdom to proclaim,
God's holy will to do.

Straightway and steadfast until death
you then obeyed God's call
freely as Child of God to serve
and give your life for all.

Baptize us with your Spirit, God,
Christ's cross on us be signed,
that, likewise in your service we
may perfect freedom find.
