To Jordan Came the Christ, Our Lord
When Jesus Was Baptized by John
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Faith That Lets Us Sing #88 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Baptism Baptism of Jesus; Baptism Rembering our Baptism Lyrics: 1 When Jesus was baptized by John,
the sky was torn apart.
The Spirit, like a dove, came down
and fell upon his heart.
As he rose from that desert spring,
a voice from heaven cried:
“You are my Son, beloved one,
my chosen one, my pride.”
2 Thus Jesus heard his call from God
and, gifted with God’s grace,
began to spread the light of love
in every darkened place.
He healed the sick, the blind, and lame;
the broken, contrite heart.
He called for justice for the poor
and all those set apart.
3 Like Jesus, we have been baptized,
accepted as God’s own,
and in that holy sacrament
our mission was made known.
The Risen Christ lives on in us,
his body here on earth,
and we are instruments of grace
to give God’s love new birth.
4 Each time we gather at the font,
remember who we are:
a people charged to love and serve
our neighbors near and far;
a people called to be a friend
to all who are in need,
and show that love is just and fair
in every word and deed.
Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 Languages: English Tune Title: JORDAN SPRING

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.

Jesus Christ, to you we raise,
manifested by the star,
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem;
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest and King supreme;
and at Cana wedding-guest
in your Godhead manifest;
manifest in power divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
mirrored in your holy Word;
with your grace our lives endow,
grace to imitate you now,
that we like to you may be
at your great epiphany;
anthems be to you addressed
God in flesh made manifest. Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG (HINTZE)
