When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 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 leds to Pentecost. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: MUNICH

Praise the one who breaks the darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards (b. 1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
with a liberating light.
Praise the One who frees the prisoners
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
curing every dread disease,
calming storms, and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the One who drove out demons
with a piercing, two-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand:
From this well comes living water,
quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate,
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory,
praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry; Praise Used With Tune: JOEL

How Sure the Scriptures Are!
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 First Line: How sure the Scriptures are Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword:
so deep and fine, at his control
they pierce where soul and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought to do and to desire:
For God know all--exposed it lies
before his eyes to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still--his word is clear,
so let us hear and do his will! Topics: Assurance; God Judge; Judgment; Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: DARWALL

Heb. 4:14-16: Jesus, the Son of God, who once
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 First Line: Jesus, the Son of God, who once Lyrics:
Jesus, the Son of God, who once
for us his life resigned,
Now lives in heav’n, our great High Priest,
and never-dying friend.
Through life, through death, let us to him
with constancy adhere;
Faith shall supply new strength, and hope
shall banish ev’ry fear.
To human weakness not severe
is our High Priest above;
His heart o’erflows with tenderness,
his bowels melt with love.
146
With sympathetic feelings touched,
he knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations are,
for he has felt the same.
But though he felt temptation’s pow’r,
unconquered he remained;
Nor, ‘midst the frailty of our frame,
by sin was ever stained.
As, in the days of feeble flesh,
he poured forth cries and tears;
So, though exalted, still he feels
what ev’ry Christian bears.
Then let us, with a filial heart,
come boldly to the throne
Of grace supreme, to tell our griefs,
and all our wants make known:
That mercy we may there obtain
for sins and errors past,
And grace to help in time of need,
while days of trial last.
Heb. 4:14-16: Jesus, the Son of God, who once
Amazing Grace
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,421 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 First Line: Amazing grace--how sweet the sound (Sublime gracia del Señor) Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace--how sweet the sound--
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see!
2 The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
His grace has brought me safe thus far,
His grace will lead me home.
4 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
Amazing grace shall then prevail
In heaven's joy and peace.
5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
