On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 239 hymnals Topics: The Baptism of Our Lord Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings! 2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin; Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 We hail Thee as our Savior, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without your grace we waste away Like flow'rs that wither and decay. 4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, And make us rise to fall no more; Oh, let your face upon us shine And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, Whose advent has our freedom won, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Spirit, evermore.

Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. b. 1944 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Our Lord First Line: Mark how the Lamb of God's self-offf'ring Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God's self-off'ring Our human sinfulness takes on In the birth-waters of the Jordan As Jesus is baptized by John. Hear how the voice from heaven thunders, "Lo, this is My beloved Son." See how in dove-like form the Spirit Descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favor Jesus goes to the wilderness, There to endure a time of testing That readied Him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit Baptized into Christ's ministry, Are often led to paths of service Through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage To live the faith our lips declare; Bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from ev'ry false allegiance, That we may trust in Christ alone: Raise up in us a chosen people Transformed by love to be Your own. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-16 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU
