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

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin (1676-1749); John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #46 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Baptism of Christ Year A; The Baptism of Christ Year B; The Baptism of Christ Year C 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: Psalm 50:2 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

the herald of the Word, is born;
and faithful hearts shall never fail
with thanks and praise his light to hail.

that John should be that herald's name,
and with prophetic utterance told
his actions great and manifold.

to greater than a prophet's name.
Of woman-born shall never be
a greater prophet than was he.
4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Scripture: Matthew 11:7-11 Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH
