On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1818-1876 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #527 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 3:1-18 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake, and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry breath from sin:
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For thou art our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without thy grace we waste away,
like flowe'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out thine hand,
and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
whose advent doth thy people free,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Ghost for evermore.

Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
O love how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-85; Thomas à Kempis, 1379-1471 Hymnal: Together in Song #194 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 3:21-22 Lyrics: 1 O love how deep, how broad, how high!
it fills the heart with ecstasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself but us.
5 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
7 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: God's Love to Us; Jesus Christ Baptism; Jesus Christ Earthly life; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Priesthood and Intercession; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Redemption; Satan; Temptation; The Gospel Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
