When Jesus came to Jordan

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

He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of his train: Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see! 3 Those blest tokens of his passion, Glorified, his body bears, Cause of endless adoration By his ransomed worshipers. With what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, Amen! Let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; Claim the Kingdom for thine own. O come quickly! O come quickly! Alleluia! Come, Lord, come! Used With Tune: PICARDY

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Advent II A; Advent II C Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice Echoes through the desert still, Calling us to make a choice, Bidding us to do God's will: "Turn from sin and be baptized; Cleanse your heart and mind and soul. Quitting all the sins you prized, Yield your life to God's control." 2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows: Lives of justice, truth, and love. Trust no other claim than those; Set your heart on things above. Soon the Lord will come in pow'r, Burning clean the threshing floor: Then will flames the chaff devour; Wheat alone shall fill God's store." 3 With such preaching stark and bold John proclaimed salvation near, And his timeless warnings hold Words of hope to all who hear. So we dare to journey on, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till we come at last like John To behold the Lamb of God. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
