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 Languages: English Tune Title: OFFERTORIUM

Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam
Author: Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gesang-Buch #62 (1848) Topics: Feast of the Baptism of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam,
nach seines Vaters Willen
von Sanct Johann's die Taufe nahm,
sein Werk und Amt zu 'rfüllen;
da wollt' Er stiften uns ein Bad,
zu waschen uns von Sünden,
ersäufen auch den bittern Tod,
durch sein selbs Blut und Wunden;
es galt ein neues Leben.
2 So hört und merket alle wohl,
was Gott selbst heißt die Taufe,
und was ein Christe glauben soll,
zu meiden Ketzerhaufe.
Gott spricht und will, daß Wasser sei,
doch nicht allein schlecht Wasser;
sein heil'ges Wort ist auch dabei
mit reichem Geist ohn' Maßen'
der ist allhie der Täufer.
3 Solch's hat Er uns bewiesen klar
mit Bilden und mit Worten,
des Vaters Stimm' man offenbar
daselbst am Jordan hörte.
Er sprach: das ist mein lieber Sohn,
an dem ich hab' Gefallen,
den will ich euch befohlen han,
daß ihr Ihn höret alle,
und folget seiner Lehre.
4 Auch Gottes Sohn hie selber steht
in seiner zarten Menschheit,
der heil'ge Geist hernieder fährt,
in Taubenbild verkleidet:
daß wir nicht sollen zweifeln dran,
wenn wir getaufet werden,
all' drei Person'n getaufet han,
damit bey uns auf Erden
zu wohnen sich begeben.
5 Sein'n Jüngern heißt der Herre Christ:
Geht hin, all' Welt zu lehren,
daß sie verlor'n in Sünden ist,
sich soll zur Buße kehren.
Wer glaubet und sich taufen läßt,
soll dadurch selig werden;
ein neugeborner Mensch er heißt,
der nicht mehr könne sterben,
das Himmelreich soll erben.
6 Wer nicht glaubt dieser großen Gnad,
der bleibt in seinen Sünden
und ist verdammt zum ew'gen Tod,
tief in den Höllen Gründen:
Nichts hilft sein' eigen' Heiligkeit,
all' sein Thun ist verloren,
die Erbsünd' macht's zur Nichtigkeit:
darin er ist geboren;
vermag ihm selbst nicht helfen.
7 Das Aug' allein das Wasser sieht,
wie Menschen Wasser gießen:
der Glaub' im Geisst die Kraft versteht
des Blutes Jesu Christi,
und ist für ihm ein' rothe Fluth
von Christi Blut gefärbet,
die allen Schaden heilen thut,
von Adam her geerbet,
auch von uns selbst begangen. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: German

2 We trust in Christ to save;
in him new life begins:
who by his cross a ransom gave
from all our sins.
Our spirits' strength and stay
who when all flesh is dust
will keep us on that final day,
in him we trust.
3 We would be true to him
till earthly journeys end,
whose love no passing years can dim,
our changeless friend.
May we who bear his name
our faith and love renew,
to follow Christ our single aim,
and find him true. Scripture: Matthew 4:17-22 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

anthems be to thee addrest,

4 Sun and moon shall darkened be,
stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see his glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Judge appear:
thou by all wilt be confest,
God in man made manifest.
5 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
mirrored in thy holy word;
may we imitate thee now,
and be pure, as pure art thou;
that we like to thee may be
at thy great Epiphany;
and may praise thee, ever blest,
God in man made manifest. Scripture: Matthew 24:27-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ST EDMUND

God is working his purpose out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #646 (2013) Meter: Irregular 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 Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON

the power of God to hold and lead,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
God’s ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God’s heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

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 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
God's reign on earth begun!
Christ comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 Christ comes with justice surely
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Christ shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love.

promised in their faithful word;

angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.

Are you resolved, though all seem lost,
to risk your reputation,

if you desire communion
when Christ’s redeemed together meet,
the bread of fellowship to eat.

the child of God is molded.
God’s Spirit lights the infant face,
and in God’s grace is folded.
With childlike steps, Christ’s plan we trace,
till we grow up in godly grace.

of fruitful vines a token.
That this good growth may be assured
ofttimes to us is broken

when Christ’s redeemed together meet. Scripture: Matthew 10:37-39 Tune Title: MACH’S MIT MIR / EISENACH
