Chant at the Sprinkling of Holy Water
Lyrics:
You will sprinkle me with Hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be cleansed;
you shall wash me, and I will be made whiter then snow.
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your great mercy.
“Do not be afraid” - Philip Stopford
Commissioned for the Baptism of the Daughter of Andrew and Kathryn Radley (2010)
Lyrics:
Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name;
you are mine.
When you walk through the waters,
I'll be with you;
you will never sink beneath the waves.
When the fire is burning all around you,
you will never be consumed by the flames.
When the fear of loneliness is looming,
then remember I am at your side.
When you dwell in the exile of a stranger,
remember you are precious in my eyes.
You are mine, O my child,
I am your Father,
and I love you with a perfect love.
