Down by the Jordan

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:1-11 First Line: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing Lyrics: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing, Preaching a message the people found bold and surprising: "God will forgive! Show that you'll change how you live! Surely God's new day is rising!" There by the river, the crowd came with great expectation: "Are you God's Chosen One, sent here to rescue our nation?" "No!" John replied. "He who is mightier than I Judges and offers salvation." Jesus, you went to be baptized with all of the others, Taking your place among sinners, God's lost sons and daughters. Then with great love, God's Spirit came as a dove! Your work began in those waters. Here in the Church, we are baptized and filled with God's Spirit. Freed and forgiven, we're welcomed with joy! Can you hear it? This is God's sign! This is how God says, "You're mine!" Let's take the good news and share it! Topics: Baptism; Church Year; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN

O'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea, day by day his clear voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me!" 2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store; from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Call and Vocation; Andrew; Discipleship; Evangelism Used With Tune: ST.

Refrain: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born in a manger, Emmanuel. 2 They looked above and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star three sages came from country far, To seek for a king was their intent, and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star shone bright in the northwest, o’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those magi three, and bending low upon their knee, They offered there, in great reverence, their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Year A Epiphany; Year B Epiphany; Year C Epiphany Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: Traditional English carol, alt.
