When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: John 1:31-34 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon
but as the sinless one.
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 ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leds to Pentecost. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: MUNICH

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: John 1:29 Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
With a liberating light;
Praise the One who frees the pris'ners
Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
Healing ev'ry dread disease,
Calming storms, and feeding thousands
With the very Bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
With a strong, yet gentle word;
Praise the One who drove out demons
With the piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
To the desert's burning sand;
From this Well comes living water
Quenching thirst in ev'ry land.
3 Let us praise the Word incarnate,
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose victorious
That we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
Seeing what our God has done;
Let us praise the true Redeemer,
Praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Society; Redeemer Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 1:19-37 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 sin 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 power,
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. Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ Christ's Promised Coming Used With Tune: LA GRANGE (White)
