Come and let us sing the mystery:

already at creation's dawn

was the One beyond beginnings

by whom all the worlds were born.

In the time before creation,

circling, turning spheres of light

far beyond imagination

sang the praise of being's Lord.

 

Sing! Sing the Name, sing the Name.

Sing the Name, sing God's Name.

Sing! Sing the name, sing the name,

Sing the name beyond all names.

 

Came the time within our history

when love was born upon the earth.

Softly as an infant breathing

came the whispered song of birth.

Gently as a flower unfolding,

love revealed in human form.

Christ, essential light enfolding,

blazed before our wond'ring eyes.

 

CHORUS

 

Now the time of new beginnings –

the past received, and faith restored

through the One who gives the Spirit

to all people through the Word.

Boldly grasp an unknown future,

sustained by faith and freedom's song.

Dare to walk upon the water

There to meet the risen one.

 

CHORUS
