Hymn | On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry | Lyrics
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!
Then cleansed be ev'ry breast from sin;
Make straight the way for God within;
Prepare we in our hearts a home,
Where such a mighty Guest may come.
For Thou art our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge, and our great Reward.
Without Thy grace we waste away
And flow'rs that wither and decay.
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.
All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose advent doth thy people free,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost for evermore.
