There's a Voice in the Wilderness
Author: James Lewis Milligan (1876-1961) Meter: Irregular Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: John 1:19-28 First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the Lord our God may go!
2 O Zion, give voice to good tidings,
ascend to the heights and sing!
Proclaim to a desolate people
the coming of their King.
The works of pride all perish,
like flowers they shall decay;
the power and pomp of nations
shall pass like a dream away.
3 But your word, O God, is faithful,
your arm, O Lord, is strong;
you stand in the midst of nations,
and you will right the wrong.
You will feed your flock like a shepherd,
and fold the lambs to your breast;
in pastures of peace you’ll lead them,
and give to the weary rest.
4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the Lord our God may go! Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: ASCENSION

When John Baptized by Jordan's River
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: John 1:19-28 Lyrics: 1 When John baptized by Jordan's river
in faith and hope the people came,
that John and Jordan might deliver
their troubled souls from sin and shame.
They came to seek a new beginning,
the human spirit's ageless quest,
repentance and an end of sinning,
renouncing every wrong confessed.
2 There as the Lord, baptized and praying,
rose from the stream the sinless One,
a voice was heard from heaven saying,
"This is my own beloved Son."
There as the Father's word was spoken,
not in the power of wind and flame,
but of his love and peace the token,
seen as a dove, the Spirit came.
3 O Son of Man, our nature sharing,
in whose obedience all are blest,
Saviour, our sins and sorrows bearing,
hear us and grant us this request:
daily to grow, by grace defended,
filled with the Spirit from above;
in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended,
children of God in peace and love. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 1 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Used With Tune: DETROIT
