| On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry | |||
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Come, then, and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings from the King of kings. Then cleansed be every Christian breast And furnished for so great a guest! Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge, and our great reward; Without thy grace our souls must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. Lay on the sick thy healing hand And make the fallen strong to stand; Show us the glory of thy face Till beauty springs in every place. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose advent sets thy people free, Whom, with the Father, we adore, And Holy Spirit, evermore.
