When Jesus came to Jordan

Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 23 hymnals 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.

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let men deride, for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away: it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light: 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 259 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live: to love and serve thee is my share, and this thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms than he went through before; he that into God's kingdom comes must enter by this door. 3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet thy blessèd face to see; for if thy work on earth be sweet, what will thy glory be! 4 Then shall I end my sad complaints and weary, sinful days, and join with the triumphant saints that sing my Saviour's praise. 5 My knowledge of that life is small, the eye of faith is dim; but 'tis enough that Christ knows all, and I shall be with him.
