Come Over into Canaan
Author: Jacob W. Byers Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 3 First Line: I came to Jordan's sullen stream Refrain First Line: Come over into the Canaan land Lyrics: 1 I came to Jordan’s sullen stream;
With trusting heart I there had been
Directed by my Savior’s hand,
Toward Canaan’s bright and blessed land.
Refrain:
Come over into the Canaan land,
Come over into the Canaan land,
Where figs and grapes so plenteous grow,
Where milk and honey freely flow,
Come over into the Canaan land.
2 My many sins were all forgiv’n,
My heart was clear with light from heav’n,
And yet I longed for deeper grace,
In Canaan’s blessed resting place. [Refrain]
3 I saw the death I had to die,
A death in which my soul did cry;
The fright’ning waves my heart did chill,
But I must yield, ’twas Heaven’s will. [Refrain]
4 Oh, second grace! I find it sweet!
God’s holy will is now complete:
The Father, Son, and Spirit reign;
All inward foes are surely slain.

Faith Begins by Letting Go
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr, b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 3:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go,
giving up what had seemed sure,
taking risks and pressing on,
though the way feels less secure:
pilgrimage both right and odd,
trusting all our life to God.
2 Faith endures by holding on,
keeping memory’s roots alive
so that hope may bear its fruit;
promise fed, our souls will thrive,
not through merit we possess
but by God’s great faithfulness.
3 Faith matures by reaching out,
stretching minds, enlarging hearts,
sharing struggles, living prayer,
binding up the broken parts;
till we find the commonplace
ripe with witness to God’s grace. Topics: Discipleship; Trust in God; Unity and Fellowship Used With Tune: LUX PRIMA Text Sources: Prayer text: John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, III.2.7, and James 1:17

Waiting will not make thee stronger,
Cross over Jordan today. [Refrain]

Falter not now by the way;
Grace all-abounding is waiting,
Cross over Jordan today.

Cross Over Jordan Today
For Your Wise, Creating Spirit
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Joshua 3 First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit,
blessing us in countless ways,
and your Living Word of mercy,
God, we offer you our praise.
From the waters of creation,
you brought forth a fertile land,
peopled it with men and women
meant to live by your command.
2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered,
you, with mercy and with love,
flooded us with tears of sorrow,
sent a rainbow and a dove.
And when we were slaves in Egypt,
each one longing to be free,
you led Moses on a pathway
through the waters of the sea.
3 When we wandered in the desert,
you showed us a flowing spring,
quenched our thirst and fed us manna,
though we doubted everything.
When, at last, we saw the Jordan.
and beyond, the Promised Land,
Joshua helped us cross the river,
guided by your faithful hand.
4 When our people walked in darkness,
you sent Light into our gloom:
Jesus, nurtured in the waters
of his mother Mary’s womb.
He was baptized in the Jordan,
he turned water into wine,
washed the feet of his disciples,
all his deeds a holy sign.
5 At the font now, God, we gather
as the friends of Jesus do,
to baptize your child beloved,
into life begun anew.
By your Spirit bless this water,
bless this child that we now name,
bless the people who are present.
May we all your love proclaim.
