On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin (1676-1749); John Chandler (1806-1876) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:2 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings from the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For thou art our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without thy grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out thine hand,
and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth, and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
whose advent sets thy people free,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Ghost for evermore.

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
How Can I Thank Thee, Lord
Author: August Crull, d. 1923; David Denicke; Johann Heermann Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:14 Lyrics: 1 How can I thank Thee, Lord,
For all Thy loving-kindness,
That Thou hast patiently
Borne with me in my blindness?
When dead in many sins
And trespasses I lay,
I kindled, holy God,
Thine anger ev'ry day.
2 It is Thy work alone
That I am now converted;
O'er Satan's work in me
Thou hast Thy pow'r asserted.
Thy mercy and Thy grace
That rise afresh each morn
Have turned my stony heart
Into a heart new-born.
3 I could but grieve Thee, Lord,
And with my sins displease Thee;
Yet to atone for sin
My works could not appease Thee.
Though I could fall from grace
And choose the way of sin,
I had not strength to rise,
A new life to begin.
4 Lord, Thou have raised me up
To joy and exultation
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.
My sins are washed away,
For this I thank Thee, Lord;
And with my heart and soul
All dead works are abhorred.
5 Grant that Thy Spirit's help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven;
That he may give me strength
In my infirmity
And e'er renew my heart
To serve Thee willingly.
6 Oh, guide and lead me, Lord,
While here below I wander
That I may follow Thee
Till I shall see Thee yonder.
For if I led myself,
I soon would go astray;
But if Thou leadest me,
I keep the narrow way.
7 O Father, God of Love,
Hear Thou my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Grant me Thy full salvation;
And Thou, O Holy Ghost,
Be Thou my faithful Guide
That I may serve Thee here
And there with Thee abide.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

The God of Abraham Praise
Author: David ben Judah Dayyan, fl. 1400; Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 453 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:2 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
To him uplift your voice,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand.
2 He by himself has sworn:
I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heav'n ascend:
I shall behold God's face,
I shall his power adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
For evermore.
3 There dwells the Lord, our King,
The Lord, our Righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace;
On Zion's sacred height
His kingdom he maintains,
And, glorious with the saints in light,
For ever reigns.
4 The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing,
And "Holy, Holy, Holy," cry,
"Almighty King!
Who was, and is, the same,
For all eternity,
Immortal Father, great I AM,
All glory be." Topics: Lent 3,Year C; Ordinary Time 32, Year C; Lenten Season; Funeral; Gathering; Grace; Heaven; Kingdom; Praise; Saints; Trust Used With Tune: LEONI
