When Jesus came to Jordan

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

4 Bearers of his name and sign,
sharers in his bread and wine,

keeping faith with Christ.

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

We turn to Christ anew
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #341 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: The Baptism of Christ Year B Lyrics: 1 We turn to Christ anew
who hear his call today,
his way to walk, his will pursue,
his word obey.
To serve him as our King
and of his kingdom learn,
from sin and every evil thing
to him we turn.
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

Jesu, Lord, to thee we raise,
manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in thy birth at Bethlehem:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
and at Cana wedding-guest
in thy Godhead manifest;
manifest in power divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man 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 thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
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

prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty guest may come.

our refuge and our great reward;
without thy grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.

and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth, and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.

whose advent sets thy people free,
