MERLE'S TUNE
When Jesus Came to Jordan (Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo)
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000; Alberto Merubia, 1919-2013 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
To be baptized by John,
He did not come for pardon,
But as the sinless One.
He came to share repentance
With all who mourn their sins,
To speak the vital sentence
With which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
Our utmost woe and loss,
For us and our salvation
To die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
On him, the Son of Man,
The hidden years had ended,
The age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
To keep the vows we make;
This very day invade us,
And ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
The gift we covet most:
To share the resurrection
That leads to Pentecost.

1 Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo
y Juan le bautizó,
no fue perdón pidiendo,
pues él jamás pecó.
Con los arrepentidos
se identificó;
les trajo buenas nuevas,
y el reino se inició.
2 Él vino a ser tentado,
que es nestra condición;
sobre una cruz clavado
nos trajo salvación.
Y cuando la Paloma
del cielo descendió,
ocultos años cesan,
la gracia comenzó.
3 Ayúdanos los votos
que hacemos a cumplir.
Los yogos que tenemos,
oh ven tú a destruir.
¡Desciende y danos vida,
que nuestro anhelo es,
tras la Resurrección
disfrutar Pentecostés!

When Jesus Came to Jordan (Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo)
How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba, 1929- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so your temple calls us
within its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
The ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow.

Song of Zechariah
Author: Michael Perry Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel Lyrics: RESPONSE
Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free.
R
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who has come to set the chosen people free.
God has raised up for us
a mighty Savior from the house of David.
Through the holy prophets, God promised of old
to save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us;
to show mercy to our forebears,
and to remember the holy covenant.
This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham,
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship without fear,
holy and righteous in God's sight,
all the days of our life. R
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give God's people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace. R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Used With Tune: [MERLE'S TUNE] Text Sources: Luke 1:68-79 (ICET, rev. ELLC, alt.)

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Person Name: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Author of "When Jesus Came to Jordan" in Worship (4th ed.) The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
