On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1808-1876 Hymnal: Common Praise #34 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Advent III Year A; Advent III Year B 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: Acts 4:30 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
The people that in darkness sat
Author: John Morrison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: Common Praise #38 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Advent III Year B; Advent III Year C Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
*3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 His righteous government and power
shall over all extend;
on judgement and on justice based,
his reign shall have no end.
7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit One. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;

Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.

one and all to be forgiven;
4 That when next he comes with glory,
and the world is wrapped in fear,
with his mercy he may shield us,
and with words of love draw near.

the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.

thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: BRISTOL

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #390 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Advent III C Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice
Echoes through the desert still,
Calling us to make a choice,
Bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
Cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sins you prized,
Yield your life to God's control."
2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows:
Lives of justice, truth, and love.
Trust no other claim than those;
Set your heart on things above.
Soon the Lord will come in pow'r,
Burning clean the threshing floor:
Then will flames the chaff devour;
Wheat alone shall fill God's store."
3 With such preaching stark and bold
John proclaimed salvation near,
And his timeless warnings hold
Words of hope to all who hear.
So we dare to journey on,
Led by faith through ways untrod,
Till we come at last like John
To behold the Lamb of God. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH

his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
shall bud and blossom then;
and justice, from her heavenly bower,
look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for thou art he who shalt by right
the nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN

the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
