When Jesus came to Jordan

Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Common Praise #93 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Advent II Year A; Advent II Year B Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan to be baptized by John, he did not come for pardon, but as his Father's Son. 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 every bondage break. Come, give our lives direction, the gift we covet most: to share the resurrection that leads to Pentecost. Scripture: Mark 1:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: OFFERTORIUM

At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet him as he cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Until in songs of triumph Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee! Amem. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENLAND
