We were baptized in Christ Jesus,
we were baptized in his death;
that as Christ was raised victorious,
we might live a brand new life.
And if we have been united
in a dreadful death like his,
we will all be reunited,
for he lives.
In the water and the witness,
in the breaking of the bread,
in the waiting arms of Jesus
who is risen from the dead,
God has made anew beginning
from the ashed of our past;
in the losing and the winning we hold fast.
Glory be to God the Father,
glory be to Christ the Son,
glory to the Holy Spirit,
ever three and ever one;
as it was in the beginning,
glory now resounds again
in a song that has no ending. Amen.
