On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1808-1876 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Topics: Advent III Year A; Advent III Year B Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings from the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For thou art our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without thy grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out thine hand,
and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth, and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
whose advent sets thy people free,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Ghost for evermore. Scripture: Acts 4:30 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW Text Sources: Altered by the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern

Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Topics: Advent III Year B Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.

in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Used With Tune: BRISTOL

Author: F. L. Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Advent III Year B Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come! On bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad:
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25 Used With Tune: IRISH

his footsteps cannot err;

shall bud and blossom then;
and justice, from her heavenly bower,
look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for thou art he who shalt by right
the nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN
The Lord will come and not be slow
