LOVE HAS COME IN CHRIST AND CLAIMED US


Love Has Come In Christ, and Claimed Us
A Hymn for Baptism
I John 3:1

Text: John A. Dalles, 1992
Suggested tune: ST. JOHN'S HIGHLANDS
L.M.


Love has come in Christ, and claimed us,
God has welcomed us and named us!
See what love we have been given;
That we should be called God's children!


By the water flowing o'er us,
Christ receives us and restores us!
See what love we have been given;
That we should be called God's children!


...(more)...


May God's blessing, now and ever,
Fill our hearts for each endeavor!
See what love we have been given;
That we should be called God's children!
