Down by the Jordan

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 1:6-8 First Line: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing Lyrics: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing, Preaching a message the people found bold and surprising: "God will forgive! Show that you'll change how you live! Surely God's new day is rising!" There by the river, the crowd came with great expectation: "Are you God's Chosen One, sent here to rescue our nation?" "No!" John replied. "He who is mightier than I Judges and offers salvation." Jesus, you went to be baptized with all of the others, Taking your place among sinners, God's lost sons and daughters. Then with great love, God's Spirit came as a dove! Your work began in those waters. Here in the Church, we are baptized and filled with God's Spirit. Freed and forgiven, we're welcomed with joy! Can you hear it? This is God's sign! This is how God says, "You're mine!" Let's take the good news and share it! Topics: Baptism; Church Year; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN

I came to Jesus as I was, So weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, And he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down and drink and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world’s light; Look unto me, your morn shall rise, And all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I’ll walk Till trav'ling days are done. --- 1 Oí la voz del Salvador decir con tierno amor: "¡Oh! ven a mí, no temas más, cargado pecador!" Cansado estaba, y sin tardar a Cristo acudí, Y luego dulce alivio y paz por de él recibí. 2 Oí la voz del Salvador decir: "Venid, bebed; yo soy la fuente de salud que apaga toda sed". Con sed de Dios, del vivo Dios, buscando al Emanuel, lo hallé; mi sed él apagó, y ahora vivo en él. 3 Oí su dulce voz decir: "Del mundo soy la luz; miradme a mí, y salvos sed; hay vida por mi cruz". Mirando a Cristo, luego en él mi norte y sol hallé; y en esa luz de vida, yo feliz siempre andaré. Por siempre viviré.

The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene - one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
