God is working his purpose out

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Meter: Irregular Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: The Baptism of Christ Year C Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year, God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, wherever feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, 'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.' 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase the love of God in all mankind, the reign of the Prince of peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Feast of the Baptism of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam, nach seines Vaters Willen von Sanct Johann's die Taufe nahm, sein Werk und Amt zu 'rfüllen; da wollt' Er stiften uns ein Bad, zu waschen uns von Sünden, ersäufen auch den bittern Tod, durch sein selbs Blut und Wunden; es galt ein neues Leben. 2 So hört und merket alle wohl, was Gott selbst heißt die Taufe, und was ein Christe glauben soll, zu meiden Ketzerhaufe. Gott spricht und will, daß Wasser sei, doch nicht allein schlecht Wasser; sein heil'ges Wort ist auch dabei mit reichem Geist ohn' Maßen' der ist allhie der Täufer. 3 Solch's hat Er uns bewiesen klar mit Bilden und mit Worten, des Vaters Stimm' man offenbar daselbst am Jordan hörte. Er sprach: das ist mein lieber Sohn, an dem ich hab' Gefallen, den will ich euch befohlen han, daß ihr Ihn höret alle, und folget seiner Lehre. 4 Auch Gottes Sohn hie selber steht in seiner zarten Menschheit, der heil'ge Geist hernieder fährt, in Taubenbild verkleidet: daß wir nicht sollen zweifeln dran, wenn wir getaufet werden, all' drei Person'n getaufet han, damit bey uns auf Erden zu wohnen sich begeben. 5 Sein'n Jüngern heißt der Herre Christ: Geht hin, all' Welt zu lehren, daß sie verlor'n in Sünden ist, sich soll zur Buße kehren. Wer glaubet und sich taufen läßt, soll dadurch selig werden; ein neugeborner Mensch er heißt, der nicht mehr könne sterben, das Himmelreich soll erben. 6 Wer nicht glaubt dieser großen Gnad, der bleibt in seinen Sünden und ist verdammt zum ew'gen Tod, tief in den Höllen Gründen: Nichts hilft sein' eigen' Heiligkeit, all' sein Thun ist verloren, die Erbsünd' macht's zur Nichtigkeit: darin er ist geboren; vermag ihm selbst nicht helfen. 7 Das Aug' allein das Wasser sieht, wie Menschen Wasser gießen: der Glaub' im Geisst die Kraft versteht des Blutes Jesu Christi, und ist für ihm ein' rothe Fluth von Christi Blut gefärbet, die allen Schaden heilen thut, von Adam her geerbet, auch von uns selbst begangen. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine of earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Lord, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb, and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it, Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Graft by faith in Thee forever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure: Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given-- Write it in the book of heaven.

May we who bear his name our faith and love renew, to follow Christ our single aim, and find him true. Scripture: Matthew 4:17-22 Used With Tune: LEONI
