On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #36 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Advent; Advent 2; Advent 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 life from sin; Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 We hail Thee as our Savior, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without your grace we waste away Like flow'rs that wither and decay. 4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, And make us rise to fall no more; Oh, let your face upon us shine And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, Whose advent has our freedom won, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Spirit, evermore.

Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing

Author: Frederick William Henry Myers (1843-1901) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #37 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Advent; Church Year Advent; The Fourth Sunday before Advent Year A; The Second Sunday of Advent Year A Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing? Is it the music of his people's prayer? 2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb; surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices, glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! 3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. 4 Through life and death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.
