Author: Samuel Deacon, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: To Jordan’s stream the Savior goes Lyrics: 1 To Jordan’s stream the Savior goes
To do His Father’s will,
His breast with sacred ardor glows,
Each precept to fulfill.
2 Behold Him buried in the flood,
(The emblem of His grave)
Who from the bosom of His God
Came down, a world to save.
3 As from the water He ascends,
What miracles appear!
God with a voice His Son commends—
Let all the nations hear!
4 Ye youthful pilgrims, hear, rejoice—
Let this your courage raise:
What God approves, be this your choice,
And glory in His ways. Used With Tune: RICHMOND Text Sources: A New Composition of Hymns & Poems, 1785
