We start at the very beginning of Mark’s gospel to hear, first, of the messenger, and then, of the baptism. The heavens are torn open…. the answer to a prayer.

Join us here for UPC online, as we remember that God calls us beloved children, and that makes all the difference. You are invited!

Hymn #242 R, verses 1, 2, 3

“O Sing a Song of Bethlehem”

(Public Domain)

O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there,

And of the news that came to them from angels in the air:

The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today;

Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway.

O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy,

O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, and of the sinless Boy:

For now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow;

Now spreads the fame of his dear name on all the winds that blow.

O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill,

Of him who walked upon the sea and bade the waves be still:

For though, like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll,

When faith has heard the Master’s word, falls peace upon the soul.

Hymn #248 R

“I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light,” Kathleen Thomerson

Reprinted with permission under ONE LICENSE,

I want to walk as a child of the light; I want to follow Jesus.

God set the stars to give light to the world; the star of my life is Jesus.

In him there is no darkness at all; the night and the day are both alike.

The Lamb is the light of the city of God: Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I want to see the brightness of God; I want to look at Jesus.

Clear Sun of righteousness, shine on my path, and show me the way to the Father.

In him there is no darkness at all; the night and the day are both alike.

The Lamb is the light of the city of God: Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I’m looking for the coming of Christ; I want to be with Jesus.

When we have run with patience the race, we shall know the joy of Jesus.

In him there is no darkness at all; the night and the day are both alike.

The Lamb is the light of the city of God: Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.
