Be not far from us when
trouble is near
and there is no one to help, O Lord.
Teach us to listen for
your voice,
and to do what you
command,
that we may be your
people
and you may be our God.
By baptism into death
of our old ways, bury us
with Christ; then as Christ
was raised from the dead,
let us walk with him in
newness of life. If the
Son makes us free,
we will be free
indeed.

Jer. 11:3-4
You shall say to [the people of Judah], Thus says the LORD,
the God of Israel: Cursed be anyone who does not heed the words of this
covenant, which I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt, from the iron-smelter, saying, Listen to my voice, and do
all that I command you. So shall you be
my people, and I will be your God…

Therefore we have been buried with [Christ Jesus] by baptism
into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of
the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
