From Ashes to the Living Font







From ashes to the living font
your Church must journey, Lord.
Baptised in grace, in grace renewed,
by your most holy word.

Through fasting, prayer, and charity,
your voice speaks deep within,
Returning us to ways of truth
and turning us from sin.

For thirsting hearts let waters flow,
our fainting souls revive;
And at the well your waters give –
our everlasting life.

From ashes to the living font
your Church must journey still,
Through cross and tomb to Easter joy,
in Spirit-fire fulfilled.
