On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Topics: The Baptism of Our Lord 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. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS Text Sources: Tr. composite

When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Our Lord; Baptism of Our Lord 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 leads to Pentecost. Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN

Oh, Love How Deep
Author: Thomas á Kempis, 1380-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Our Lord; Baptism of Our Lord First Line: Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake!
2 God sent no angel to our race,
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
in Christ our Lord to this world came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
for us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us gave his dying breath.
6 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad:
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS
Oh, Love How Deep

See Christ, Who on the River's Shore
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Baptism of Our Lord Lyrics: 1 See Christ, who on the river's shore
with John the Baptist stood,
his secret in the name he bore:
the holy Lamb of God.
See all his body washed and wet,
baptized in Jordan's flow,
as here his shame and glory meet,
his pain and triumph show.
2 See Christ submits himself to John;
the Lord bows to his slave!
See where he stoops, the sinless one,
to share a sinner's grave!
See him arising from the stream
where all the past now dies;
for yet a colder tomb he came
and now calls us to rise.
3 See Christ, to whom the Father speaks
as his beloved Son;
Messiah's chosen task he takes,
the servant's work begun.
See him on whom the Spirit fell,
descending like a dove,
in whom we find a springing well
of peace and joy and love.
4 See Christ through forty hungry days
with sand and stones for bed;
in lonely trials and desert ways
with him may we be led.
See him, the anointed Lamb who died,
to whom all praise we bring;
see Christ baptized, Christ crucified,
and Christ our reigning King! Scripture: Mark 1:9-13 Used With Tune: NOEL
See Christ, Who on the River's Shore
