On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Scripture: John 1:28 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh:
awake and listen for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Let every heart be cleansed from sin,
make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick, stretch out your hand,
and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To you, O Christ, all praises be,
whose advent sets your people free;
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore! Topics: Advent Season; Biblical Persons; Advent Season; Biblical Persons John the Baptist; Biblical Places Jordan; Holy Spirit Lifegiver; Jesus Christ Light; Jesus Christ Refuge; Salvation Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS

and her warfare now is over.

in the desert far and near,
calling us to new repentance
since the reign of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for Christ a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
as befits Messiah's reign.

now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's Word is never broken. Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: PSALM 42

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: John 1:19-37 Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice
echoes through the desert still,
calling us to make a choice,
bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sin you prized,
yield your life to God's control.
2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows:
lives of justice, truth, and love.
Trust no other claim than those;
set your heart on things above.
Soon the Lord will come in power,
burning clean the threshing floor:
then will flames the chaff devour;
wheat alone shall fill God's store."
3 With such preaching stark and bold

and his timeless warnings hold
words of hope to all who hear.

led by faith through ways untrod,
till we come at last like John -

where the Lord our God may go!

shall pass like a dream away.

your arm, O Lord, is strong;
you stand in the midst of nations,
and you will right the wrong.
You will feed your flock like a shepherd,
and fold the lambs to your breast;
in pastures of peace you’ll lead them,
and give to the weary rest.

where the Lord our God may go! Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: ASCENSION

renouncing every wrong confessed.

rose from the stream the sinless One,
a voice was heard from heaven saying,
"This is my own beloved Son."

not in the power of wind and flame,
but of his love and peace the token,
seen as a dove, the Spirit came.

in whose obedience all are blest,
Saviour, our sins and sorrows bearing,

daily to grow, by grace defended,
filled with the Spirit from above;

children of God in peace and love. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

rebuilt, impatient of the good,

is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.

the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!

to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Used With Tune: DETROIT

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!

A Blood Red Rose Reminds Us Still
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 1:19-42 Lyrics: 1 A blood red rose reminds us still
of one who faced a waiting grave
with faith and hope on that green hill,
whose love still comes to heal and save.
2 We pray to one who understands
the heavy cross that we now bear,
for one brief day in Roman hands
a thorny crown he had to wear.
3 God grieves with us in every loss,
for joys cut short when help comes late,
and Jesus, dying on the cross,
spoke words of pardon, not of hate.
4 A blood red rose was gently laid
in Joseph's new and waiting tomb.
This gracious gift in love was made,
for love is in eternal bloom.
5 So come and place your flowers here
upon the altar in this room,
and sweep away the hate and fear
till love comes leaping from the tomb. Topics: All Saints' Day; Comfort; Freedom-Liberation; Good Friday; Grief; Hope; Promise Used With Tune: FIFTY-TWO ROSES
