On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #36 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Advent 2 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings! 2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin; Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 We hail Thee as our Savior, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without your grace we waste away Like flow'rs that wither and decay. 4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, And make us rise to fall no more; Oh, let your face upon us shine And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, Whose advent has our freedom won, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Spirit, evermore.

Comfort those who sit in darkness Mourning under sorrow’s load. To God's people now proclaim That God's pardon waits for them! Tell them that their war is over; God will reign in peace forever! 2 For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Calling us to true repentance, Since the Kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet him, And the hills bow to greet him! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, And the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign! For the glory of the Lord Now on earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That God's word is never broken.

The advent of our King Our prayers must now employ, And we must hymns of welcome sing In strains of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be; Himself a servant's form puts on To set His servants free. 3 O Zion's Daughter, rise To meet thy lowly King; Repentant hearts He'll not despise, Forgiveness He doth bring. 4 As Judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again; Then saints and angels will unite To praise His heav'nly reign. 5 Before the dawning day Let sin's dark deeds be gone, The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. 6 All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever One, Through all eternity.
