When Jesus Came to Jordan

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: UMH #252 (1989) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: William Walker Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan to be baptized by John, he did not come for pardon but as the sinless one. He came to share repentance with all who mourn their sins, to speak the vital sentence with which good news begins. 2 He came to share temptation, our utmost woe and loss, for us and our salvation to die upon the cross. So when the dove descended on him, the Son of Man, the hidden years had ended, the age of grace began. 3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us to keep the vows we make; this very day invade us, and every bondage break. Come, give our lives direction, the gift we covet most: to share the resurrection that leads to Pentecost.

Jesu, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: UMH #183b (1989) Person Name: James G. Walton Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thy boundless love to me no thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to thee and reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, thine alone, I am; be thou alone my constant flame. O grant that nothing in my soul may dwell, but thy pure love alone! O may thy love possess me whole, my joy, my treasure, and my crown. Strange flames far from my soul remove, my every act, word, thought, be love. O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies! Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesu, nothing may I see, nothing hear, feel, or think, but thee! In suffering be thy love my peace, in weakness be thy love my power; and when the storms of life shall cease, Jesu, in that important hour, in death as life be thou my guide, and save me, who for me hast died.
