"Go over this Jordan"

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,401 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 3:17 First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, These gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes:-- Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

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. " Topics: Baptism Prayer Used With Tune: FIRST CHURCH
