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 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal 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

To Jordan Came the Christ, Our Lord
Scarce tongue can speak, ne'er human ken
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #111 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal 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! Topics: The Church Year Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: BAPTIZEIN (Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam)
Scarce tongue can speak, ne'er human ken
To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ
Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #220 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal 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. Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: BAPTIZEIN (Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam)

Kristus kom selv til Jordans Flod
Author: Luther; Landstad Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #260 (1897) Hymnal Title: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Lyrics: 1 Kristus kom selv til Jordans Flod,
Som Gud, hans Fader, vilde,
Og af sankt Hans sig døde lod,
Sit Embed at opfylde.
Et Bad han satte der, og bød
Af Synden os at tvættes,
Og Døden saa for Kristi Død
Opsluges og udslettes.
Det gjaldt nyt Liv og Levnet.
2 Saa hører nu og merker vel,
Hvor Gud selv Daaben ærer,
Og hvad en Kristen tror med Skjel,
Traads hver, som andet lærer:
Gud vil og siger: der er Vand,
Dog ikke Vand alene,
Hans Ord er hos, og Aand, som kan
Til Salighed os tjene;
Gud selv er den, os døber.
3 Den Sag han vilde nu saa klar
Med Ord og Tegn os gjøre,
Gud Faders Røst de aabenbar
Ved Jordan kunde høre:
Det er min elskelige Søn,
I hvem jeg har min Glæde,
Jeg byder eder ham med Bøn,
I hen til ham vil træde,
Hans Lære skal I følge!
4 Her staar nu og Guds Søn paa Jord
I Manddom sin til Skue,
Den Helligaand og bradt nedfor
I Skikkelse som Due;
Thi skal vi tro, om vi ei se,
At Himlen her er aaben,
At Gud selv i Personer tre
Er med og hos i Daaben,
Vil bo hos os og bygge.
5 Saa byder høit den Herre Krist:
Gaar hen, al Verden lærer,
Den er fortabt i Synd forvist,
Paa Dødsens Dom den bærer,
Men hvo som tror, og tager Daab,
Skal frelst og salig blive.
Og fød paany til Himlens Haab,
Han holdes skal i Live,
Guds Rige skal han arve.
6 Hvo ikke tror Guds Naade sød,
Han blir i Synder sine,
Og er fordømt til evig Død
Dybt ned i Helveds Pine.
Ei hjælper ham hans Gjerning gad,
Det daaret har saa mangen,
Thi Arvesynden er dens Rod,
Deri han ligger fangen,
Selv kan han sig ei hjælpe.
7 Vort Øie ser alene Vand,
Og Haanden, som det øser,
Men Troen skjønner, Kraften sand
Af Kristi Blod forløser,
At her er Naadens røde Flod,
Af Kristus-Blodet farvet,
Som paa den Skade raader Bod,
Vi har af Adam arvet,
Og Synden selv vi gjorde. Topics: Fastelavens Søndag Til Høimesse; Shrovetide Sunday High Mass; Guds Lov og Pris; Trefoldigheds Fest Til Hoimesse; Trinity Sunday High Mass Languages: Norwegian Tune Title: [Kristus kom selv til Jordans Flod]
