When John Baptized by Jordan's River

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When John baptized by Jordan's river in faith and hope the people came, that John and Jordan might deliver their troubled souls from sin and shame. They came to seek a new beginning, the human spirit's ageless quest, repentance, and an end of sinning, renouncing ev'ry wrong confessed. 2 There as the Lord, baptized and praying, rose from the stream, the sinless one, a voice was heard from heaven saying, "This is my own beloved Son." There as the Father's word was spoken, not in the pow'r of wind and flame, but of his love and peace the token, seen as a dove, the Spirit came. 3 O Son of man, our nature sharing, in whose obedience all are blessed, Savior, our sins and sorrows bearing, hear us and grant us this request: daily to grow, by grace defended, filled with the Spirit from above; in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended, children of God in peace and love.

Refrain: Arise! arise! the light breaks o’er thee; Thy name is graven on the throne; Thy home is in the world of glory, Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. 2 Tossed on the dark, proud waves of ocean, Calmly composed, undaunted be; ’Midst the fierce tempest’s dread commotion, Thy God doth still remember thee. [Refrain] 3 Christian, behold! the land is nearing, And the wild sea storm’s rage is o’er; List to the heav’nly hosts now cheering; See in what throngs they range the shore. [Refrain] 4 Cheer up! Cheer up! The light breaks o’er thee, Bright as the summer’s noontide ray; The starry crown in realms of glory; Invites the happy soul away. Refrain: Away! Away! leave all for glory, Thy name is graven on the throne; Thy home is in the world of glory, Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. Used With Tune: BREAKING MORN

O that Thy voice might soon be heeded By all whom Thou wouldst draw to Thee And in Thy loving bosom carry As Thy redeemed, from sin made free! 3 O that the day might soon be dawning When Thou, our Bridegroom, shalt appear To claim Thine own and let them flourish In yonder realms of bliss and cheer! There, clad in fairest wedding garments, They each shall find their bounteous share While seated at Thy Kingdom's tables To share the feast Thou dost prepare.
