Celestial Dove, descend from high
Arise, the Kingdom Is at Hand
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Rist Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand,
The King is drawing nigh;
Arise with joy, thou faithful band,
To meet the Lord most high!
Look up, ye souls weighed down with care,
The Sovereign is not far;
Look up, faint hearts, from your despair,
Behold the Morning Star!
2 Look up, ye drooping hearts, today,
The King is very near;
O cast your griefs and fears away,
For lo, your help is here!
Hope on, ye broken hearts, at last
The King comes in His might;
He loved us in the ages past,
When we lay wrapped in night.
3 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us,
Thyself made poor and weak;
O love beyond compare that thus
Can foes and sinners seek!
For this we raise a gladsome voice
On high to Thee alone,
And evermore with thanks rejoice
Before Thy glorious throne.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

There's a Voice in the Wilderness
Author: James Lewis Milligan (1876-1961) Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12 First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the Lord our God may go!
2 O Zion, give voice to good tidings,
ascend to the heights and sing!
Proclaim to a desolate people
the coming of their King.
The works of pride all perish,
like flowers they shall decay;
the power and pomp of nations
shall pass like a dream away.
3 But your word, O God, is faithful,
your arm, O Lord, is strong;
you stand in the midst of nations,
and you will right the wrong.
You will feed your flock like a shepherd,
and fold the lambs to your breast;
in pastures of peace you’ll lead them,
and give to the weary rest.
4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the Lord our God may go! Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: ASCENSION

When Jesus came to Jordan
Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:11-17 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.

Lo, from the desert homes
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Lo, from the desert homes,
where he hath hid so long,
the new Elijah comes,
in sternest wisdom strong;
the voice that cries
of Christ from high,
and judgement nigh
from opening skies.
2 Your God e’en now doth stand
at heaven’s opening door;
his fan is in his hand,
and he will purge his floor;
the wheat he claims
and with him stows,
the chaff He throws
to quenchless flames.
3 Ye haughty mountains, bow
your sky-aspiring heads;
ye valleys, hiding low,
lift up your gentle meads;
make his way plain
your king before,
for evermore
he comes to reign.
4 May thy dread voice around,
thou harbinger of Light,
on our dull ears still sound,
lest here we sleep in night,
till judgement come,
and on our path
the Lamb's dread wrath
shall burst in doom.
5 O God, with love’s sweet might,
who dost anoint and arm
Christ’s soldier for the fight
with grace that shields from harm
thrice blessèd Three,
heaven’s endless days
shall sing thy praise
eternally. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. John the Baptist Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
