'Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path hath trod; He is God from everlasting, And to everlasting God. 2 Who is this, a Man of Sorrows, Walking sadly life's hard way, Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping Over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, Who above the starry sky Now for us a place prepareth, Where no tear can dim the eye. 3 Who is this? behold him shedding Drops of blood upon the ground! Who is this, despised, rejected, Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces On his Church now poureth down; Who shall smite in holy vengeance All his foes beneath his throne. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying While the rude world scoffs and scorns, Numbered with the malefactors, Torn with nails, and crowned with thorns? 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city, Reigning everlastingly. Amen. Scripture: John 1:10 Used With Tune: EIFIONYDD

See Christ, Who on the River's Shore

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Baptism of Our Lord; Biblical Names and Places John the Baptizer; Epiphany and Ministry of Christ ; Jesus Christ Person of; Jesus Christ Life of; Temptations Lyrics: 1 See Christ, who on the river's shore with John the Baptist stood, his secret in the name he bore: the holy Lamb of God. See all his body washed and wet, baptized in Jordan's flow, as here his shame and glory meet, his pain and triumph show. 2 See Christ submits himself to John; the Lord bows to his slave! See where he stoops, the sinless one, to share a sinner's grave! See him arising from the stream where all the past now dies; for yet a colder tomb he came and now calls us to rise. 3 See Christ, to whom the Father speaks as his beloved Son; Messiah's chosen task he takes, the servant's work begun. See him on whom the Spirit fell, descending like a dove, in whom we find a springing well of peace and joy and love. 4 See Christ through forty hungry days with sand and stones for bed; in lonely trials and desert ways with him may we be led. See him, the anointed Lamb who died, to whom all praise we bring; see Christ baptized, Christ crucified, and Christ our reigning King! Scripture: Mark 1:9-13 Used With Tune: NOEL
