Lyrics

Verse 1 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! Verse 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. Verse 3 For Thou art our Salvation, Lord, our Refuge, and our great Reward. Without Thy grace our souls must fade and wither like a flow'r decayed. Verse 4 Stretch forth Thine hand, to heal our sore and make us rise and fall no more; Once more upon Thy people shine, and fill the world with love divine. Verse 5 To Him Who left the throne of Heav'n to save mankind, all praise be giv'n; Like praise be to the Father done, and Holy Spirit, Three in One....
