On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1808-76 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #12 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ON Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Come then and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a guest! Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without thy grace our souls must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. 4 Stretch forth thine hand to heal our sore, And make us rise, to fall no more; Once more upon thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose advent sets thy people free, Whom, with the Father, we adore, And Spirit blest, for evermore. Amen. Topics: St. John the Baptist; The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

O 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; and praise to God whom we adore, with Holy Spirit evermore.
