Let the earth now praise the Lord

Hail! my portion, Lord, art Thou! Here, too, in my heart, I pray, Oh, prepare Thyself a way! 5 And when Thou dost come again, As a glorious king to reign, I with joy may see Thy face, Freely ransomed by Thy grace.

Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #182 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Son of David / Messiah Lyrics: 1 What was your vow and vision, revealed and recognized, Christ, when you came to Jordan and asked to be baptized? Was there a sudden splendour of prophets, priests and kings, a wind that stirred the waters, a blur of mighty wings? 2 Was this God's call, the crowning of all you had become: "Go, show and tell my coming, my own, my chosen one?" Did scripture join with scripture, revealing in surprise the triumph of a servant rejected and despised? 3 We meet you at the water and ponder why and how, in hope that we may follow where God is going now, anointed with your Spirit, reborn, and energized, through deed and word proclaiming: "In Christ we are baptized!"

'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; By his Son God now has spoken: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like his? Friends thro' fear his cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress; Many hands were raised to wound him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed, See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built. Amen.
