On Jordan's Bank

Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry heart from sin;
Make straight the way for God within,
And let each heart prepare a home,
Where such a mighty guest may come.
3 We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
Our refuge, and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth, and let your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To God the Son all glory be,
Whose advent set your people free;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-8 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

Speak of peace, now says our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell of all the sins I cover,
And that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all to full repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA 42

The herald of the Word, is born;
And faithful hearts shall never fail
With thanks and praise his light to hail.
2 With heav'nly message Gabriel came,
That John should be that herald's name,
And with prophetic utt'rance told
His actions great and manifold.
3 His mighty deeds exalt his fame
To greater than a prophet's name;
Of woman-born shall never be
A greater prophet than was he.
