There was never anything by the wit of man so well devised, or so sure established, which in continuance of time hath not been corrupted.

We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift…
We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit.
