RENDEZ À DIEU
When John Baptized by Jordan's River
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #325 (1994) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Hymnal Title: Catholic Book of Worship III 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 blest,
Saviour, 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. Topics: Baptism of the Lord; John the Baptist Scripture: Matthew 3 Languages: English Tune Title: RENDEZ À DIEU

Louis Bourgeois
1510 - 1561 Person Name: Louis Bourgeois, c. 1510-1561 Hymnal Title: Gather Comprehensive, Second Edition Composer of "RENDEZ À DIEU" in Gather Comprehensive, Second Edition Louis Bourgeois (b. Paris, France, c. 1510; d. Paris, 1561). In both his early and later years Bourgeois wrote French songs to entertain the rich, but in the history of church music he is known especially for his contribution to the Genevan Psalter. Apparently moving to Geneva in 1541, the same year John Calvin returned to Geneva from Strasbourg, Bourgeois served as cantor and master of the choristers at both St. Pierre and St. Gervais, which is to say he was music director there under the pastoral leadership of Calvin. Bourgeois used the choristers to teach the new psalm tunes to the congregation.
The extent of Bourgeois's involvement in the Genevan Psalter is a matter of scholarly debate. Calvin had published several partial psalters, including one in Strasbourg in 1539 and another in Geneva in 1542, with melodies by unknown composers. In 1551 another French psalter appeared in Geneva, Eighty-three Psalms of David, with texts by Marot and de Beze, and with most of the melodies by Bourgeois, who supplied thirty four original tunes and thirty-six revisions of older tunes. This edition was republished repeatedly, and later Bourgeois's tunes were incorporated into the complete Genevan Psalter (1562). However, his revision of some older tunes was not uniformly appreciated by those who were familiar with the original versions; he was actually imprisoned overnight for some of his musical arrangements but freed after Calvin's intervention. In addition to his contribution to the 1551 Psalter, Bourgeois produced a four-part harmonization of fifty psalms, published in Lyons (1547, enlarged 1554), and wrote a textbook on singing and sight-reading, La Droit Chemin de Musique (1550). He left Geneva in 1552 and lived in Lyons and Paris for the remainder of his life.
