When Jesus Came to Jordan (Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo)

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000; Alberto Merubia, 1919-2013 Hymnal: Santo, Santo, Santo #113 (2019) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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!

Song of Zechariah

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #137 (1995) 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.
