Jesus! the name high over all
Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788 ) Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: God, Saviour Praised and Worshipped; Advent 3 The Forerunner; Epiphany 1, Revelation The Baptism of Jesus; The Ascension of Christ; Pentecost 3 The Church's Confidence in Christ; Pentecost 10 The Mind of Christ; Last Sunday after Pentecost Citizens of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all
in hell or earth or sky;
angels again before it fall
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners given;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks
and bruises Satan's head;
power into strengthless souls he speaks
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that welcome me
would all mankind embrace,
would all mankind embrace.
5 His righteousness alone I show,
his saving grace proclaim;
this is my work on earth below,
to cry 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry 'Behold the Lamb!'
6 Happy if with my final breath
I may but gasp his name,
preach him to all, and cry in death,
'Christ Jesus is the Lamb!'
'Christ Jesus is the Lamb!'

When Jesus came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Baptism of Christ Year A; The Baptism of Christ Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon,
but as his Father's Son.
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 every bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leads to Pentecost. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Used With Tune: OFFERTORIUM

Eternal Ruler, of the ceaseless round
Author: John White Chadwick, 1840-1904 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Year A Baptism of Christ; Year C Baptism of Christ First Line: Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
of circling planets singing on their way;
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day;
rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
by virtue of thy well-belovèd Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
into our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
as one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things sweet and fair,
one with the joy that breaketh into song,
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the pow'r that makes thy children free
to follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heav'nly armour, Lord,
thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
our inspiration be thy constant word;
we ask no victories that are not thine:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
enough to know that we are serving thee. Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 Used With Tune: SONG 1
Eternal Ruler, of the ceaseless round
God is working his purpose out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: The Baptism of Christ Year C Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out,
as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
wherever feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents,
ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work,
to prosper and increase
the love of God in all mankind,
the reign of the Prince of peace?
What can we do to hasten the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea?
4 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world;
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin,
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
5 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Scripture: Isaiah 24:14-16 Used With Tune: BENSON

Worthy the Lamb! our lips reply,
for he was slain for us!
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
all praise and power divine;
and all the blessings we can give

to bless the sacred name
of him who reigns upon the throne,
and to adore the Lamb! Scripture: Revelation 5 Used With Tune: NATIVITY
