Christ, Unser Herr, Zum Jordan Kam

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13484 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam Nach seines Vaters Willen, Von Sanct Johann’s die Taufe nahm, Sein Werk und Amt zu ’ rfüllen. Da wollt’ er stiften uns ein Bad, Zu waschen uns von Sünden, Ersäufen auch den bittern Tod Durch sein selbst Blut und Wunden, Es galt ein neues Leben. 2 So hört und merket alle wohl, Was Gott heisst selbst die Taufe, Und was ein Christen glauben soll, Zu meiden Ketzer Haufen: Gott spricht und will, das Wasser sei Doch nicht allein schlecht Wasser, Sein heilig’s Wort ist auch dabei Mit reichem Geist ohn’ Massen, Der ist allhie der Täufer. 3 Solch’s hat er uns beweiset klar, Mit Bildern und mit Worten, Des Vaters Stimm man offenbar Daselbst am Jordan hörte. Er sprach: das ist mein lieber Sohn, An dem ich hab’ Gefallen, Den will ich euch befohlen han, Dass ihr ihn höret alle Und folget seinen Lehren. 4 Auch Gottes Sohn hie selber steht In seiner zarten Menschheit, Der heilig’ Geist hernieder fährt In Taubenbild verkleidet; Dass wir nicht sollen zweifeln d’ran, Wenn wir getaufet werden, All’ drei Person getaufet han, Damit bei uns auf Erden Zu wohnen sich ergeben. 5 Sein’ Jünger heisst der Herre Christ: Geht hin all’ Welt zu lehren, Dass sie verlor’n in Sünden ist, Sich soll zur Busse kehren; Wer glaubet und sich taufen lässt, Soll dadurch selig werden, Ein neugeborner Mensch er heisst, Der nicht mehr konne sterben, Das Himmelreich soll erben. 6 Wer nicht glaubt dieser grossen G’nad, Der bleibt in seinen Sünden, Und ist verdammt zum ew’gen Tod Tief in der Höllen Grunde, Nichts hilst sein’ eigen’ Heiligkeit, All’ sein Thun ist verloren. Die Erbsünd’ macht’s zur Nichtigkeit, Darin er ist geboren, Vermag ihm selbst nichts helfen. 7 Das Aug’ allein das Wasser seiht, Wie Menschen Wasser giessen, Der Glaub’ im Geist die Kraft versteht Des Blutes Jesu Christi, Und ist für ihm ein’ rothe Fluth Von Christus Blut gefärbet, Die allen Schaden heilen thut Von Adam her geerbet, Auch von uns selbst begangen.

To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #220 (1908) Lyrics: 1 To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ, To do God’s pleasure willing, And there was by St. John baptized, All righteousness fulfilling; There did He consecrate a bath To wash away transgression, And quench the bitterness of death By His own blood and passion; He would a new life give us. 2 So hear ye all and well perceive What God doth call Baptism, And what a Christian should believe Who error shuns and schism: That we should water use, the Lord Declareth it His pleasure; Not simple water, but the Word And Spirit without measure; He is the real Baptizer. 3 To show us this He hath His Word With signs and symbols given; On Jordan’s banks was plainly heard The Father’s voice from heaven: "This is My well beloved Son, In whom My soul delighteth; Hear Him." Yea, hear Him, every one When He Himself inviteth, Hear and obey His teaching. 4 In tender manhood God the Son In Jordan's water standeth; The Holy Ghost from His own throne In dove-like form descendeth; That thus the truth be not denied,-- Nor should our faith e’er waver,-- That the Three Persons e'er preside, At Baptism’s holy laver, And dwell with the believer. 5 Thus Jesus His disciples sent: Go teach ye every nation, That, lost in sin, they must repent And flee from condemnation: He that believes and is baptized Shall thereby have salvation; A new-born man he is in Christ, Is safe from condemnation, And shall inherit heaven. 6 Who in this mercy hath not faith, Nor aught therein discerneth, Is yet in sin, condemned to death, And fire that ever burneth; His holiness avails him not, Nor aught which he is doing; His birth-sin brings all to naught, And maketh sure his ruin; Himself he cannot succor. 7 Blind sense but water sees, and spurns: "Pray, how can water save us?" Faith marks the Word, and well discerns Christ's merits that here lave us; Faith sees this cleansing fountain red With, both from sin inherited From fallen Adam frees us, And sins we have committed.

To Jordan Came Our Lord, the Christ

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6799 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 First Line: To Jordan came our Lord the Christ Lyrics: 1. To Jordan came our Lord the Christ, To do God’s pleasure willing, And there was by Saint John baptized, All righteousness fulfilling; There did He consecrate a bath To wash away transgression, And quench the bitterness of death By His own blood and passion; He would a new life give us. 2. So hear ye all, and well perceive What God doth call baptism, And what a Christian should believe Who error shuns and schism: That we should water use, the Lord Declareth it His pleasure; Not simple water, but the Word And Spirit without measure; He is the true Baptizer. 3. To show us this, He hath His Word With signs and symbols given; On Jordan’s banks was plainly heard The Father’s voice from Heaven: This is My well-beloved Son, In whom My soul delighteth; Hear Him. Yea, hear Him every one Whom He Himself inviteth, Hear and obey His teaching. 4. In tender manhood Jesus straight To holy Jordan wendeth; The Holy Ghost from Heaven’s gate In dovelike shape descendeth; That thus the truth be not denied, Nor should our faith e’er waver, That the Three Persons all preside, At baptism’s holy laver, And dwell with the believer. 5. Thus Jesus His disciples sent: Go teach ye every nation, That lost in sin they must repent; And flee from condemnation: He that believes and is baptized, Obtains a mighty blessing; A new-born man, no more he dies, Eternal life possessing, A joyful heir of Heaven. 6. Who in this mercy hath not faith, Nor aught therein discerneth, Is yet in sin, condemned to death, And fire that ever burneth; His holiness avails him not, Nor aught which he is doing; His inborn sin brings all to naught, And maketh sure his ruin; Himself he cannot succor. 7. The eye of sense alone is dim, And nothing sees but water; Faith sees Christ Jesus, and in Him The Lamb ordained for slaughter; She sees the cleansing fountain red With the dear blood of Jesus, Which from the sins inherited From fallen Adam frees us, And from our own misdoings.

Scarce tongue can speak, ne'er human ken

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #111 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Scarce tongue can speak, ne’er human ken The myst’ry could discover, That God from His high throne to men Makes known the world all over: That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His saints doth aye deliver; One essence but three persons! 2 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! The name thrice holy given, On earth by all the ransomed host, And by the hosts of heaven. He’s Abraham’s and Isaac’s God, And Jacob’s, whom He knoweth, The Lord of Hosts, who every good Both night and day bestoweth, Who only doeth wonders! 3 His Son, from all eternity Begotten of the Father, Did come as man, when God’s decree Had fixed, His sheep to gather. The Holy Ghost eternally, While all their glory sharing, Their honor, power, and majesty, A crown all equal wearing, Proceeds from Son and Father! 4 Be glad, my heart, thy portion see, Thy rich, unequalled treasure, He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure. Who made thee in His image fair, Thy load of guilt removeth, Gives thee His people’s faith to share, Thy joy in sorrow proveth, Through His own Word most holy. 5 Bestir thyself, with all thy heart Thy God to know endeavor: Such knowledge will sweet rest impart, Thy soul with pure love ever Will cause to glow, and nourish thee For life and joy in heaven; Things only heard of here, shall be To open sight there given, By God to His dear children. 6 Woe! woe! to the besotted crew In willful blindness living, Rejecting God, the honor due To Him, to creatures giving. The time will come when close shall He On them the door of heaven; Who drive God from them here, shall be By Him hereafter driven, From His high throne most holy! 7 O Prince of Might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven;, To every sinner here below May saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou ev'rything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we Thy people may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye, ’Mid all the bless’d immortals: That Thou above art King alone All other gods high over, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people’s Shield and Cover, One essence but three persons!

Our Savior To The Jordan Came

Author: H. Brueckner; Martin Luther Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #42 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Our Savior to the Jordan came, The Father's will obeying, And there by John was He baptized, His work no more delaying. He there vouchsafed a cleansing breath To free from sin's possession, To rescue us from bitter death And wash away transgression, New life in us creating. 2 So hear ye all and ponder well What God Himself installeth, What He would have us all believe. What He a washing calleth. That water at the font be used, Is surely His good pleasure, But with it go His holy Word and Spirit without measure; He is the true Baptizer. 3 To show us this with ample proof, Both words and signs are given. At Jordan's brink was plainly heard The Father's voice from heaven: This is my well beloved Son, In whom my soul delighteth; O hear ye Him when ev'ryone He to Himself inviteth; Obey His will and teaching. 4 The Son of God is also here, In tender manhood bending, And we behold the Spirit, too, In dove-like form descending. Thus are we strengthened in our faith, Which nevermore should waver. That Father, Son and Holy Ghost Are present at the laver, To make our hearts their dwelling. 5 He who rejects this wondrous grace, The Scripture disbelieving, Shall have his sins abide with him, In hell his place receiving. His outward deeds avail him naught, His holiness must vanish; His inborn sin all works annuls, God such a one must banish: Himself he cannot rescue. 6 To His disciples Jesus saith: Go, teach ye every nation: Man, lost in sin, must needs repent, To flee from condemnation. Baptized and having faith in Me, He shall be saved forever; A new-born man shall he be called, Whom naught from Me can sever; My Kingdom He inherits. 7 Blind sense but water sees and asks: Pray, how can water save us? But faith the blood of Christ beholds That here in truth doth lave us. It sees this fountain colored red That here for us is flowing. To purge us from our inborn sin And, every grace bestowing, From all misdeeds to free us. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: BAPTIZEIN
