On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: Rev. John Chandler; Charles Coffin Hymnal: The Hymnal #200 (1895) 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 E'en now the air, the sea, the land, Feel that their Maker is at hand; The very elements rejoice, And welcome Him with cheerful voice. 3 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. 4 For Thou art our salvation, Lord, Our Refuge and our great reward; Without Thy grace our souls must fade, Like wither like a flower decayed. 5 Stretch forth Thy 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. 6 To Him, who left the throne of heaven, To save mankind, all praise be given; Like praise be to the Father done, And Holy Spirit, -- Three in One. Amen.
