On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #36 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS
On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry
When You, O Lord, Were Baptized

were baptized in the Jordan,

calling you the beloved Son.
And the Spirit
in the form of a dove
confirmed his word as sure and steadfast.
O Christ,
our God– who has appeared and enlightened the world,
glory be to you.

When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: With One Voice #647 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Baptism of Our Lord, The Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon.
but as the Sinless One.
He came to share repentance
with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss,
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit,
aid us to keep the vows we make;
this very day invade us,
and ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leads to Pentecost.
Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN
When Jesus Came to Jordan
See Christ, Who on the River's Shore
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #14 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Baptism of Our Lord 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 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
See Christ, Who on the River's Shore
From God the Father, Virgin-Born
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #74 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Baptism of Our Lord, The Lyrics: 1 From God the Father, virgin-born
To us the only Son came down;
By death the font to consecrate,
The faithful to regenerate.
2 Beginning from his home on high,
In human flesh he came to die;
Creation by his death restored,
And shed new joys of life abroad.
3 Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bring
The gift of healing on your wing;
To ev'ry dull and clouded sense
The clearness of Your light dispense.
4 Abide with us, O Lord, we pray;
The gloom of darkness chase away;
Your work of healing, Lord, begin,
And take away the stain of sin.
5 Lord, once you came to earth’s domain
And, we believe, shall come again;
Be with us on the battlefield,
From ev'ry harm your people shield.
6 To you, O Lord, all glory be
For this your blest epiphany;
To God, whom all his hosts adore,
And Holy Spirit evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

and at Cana, wedding guest,
in your Godhead manifest,
you revealed your power divine,

manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil’s might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill: [Refrain]
