God has made known the great salvation Which all his friends with joy confess. God has revealed to every nation Truth and unending righteousness. 2 Joyfully, heartily resounding, Let every instrument and voice Peal out the praise of grace abounding, Calling the whole world to rejoice. Trumpets and organs, set in motion Such sounds as make the heavens ring; All things that live in earth and ocean, Sound forth the song, your praises bring. 3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, Honor the Lord with wild acclaim; Mountains and stones look up adoring, And find a voice to praise God's name.

Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; The brier and the thorn grow wild. Lord, hasten to bring in Your kingdom on earth. When no one shall hurt or destroy, When wisdom and justice shall reign in the land And Your people shall go forth in joy. Scripture: Isaiah 11 Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA

Lord, When You Came to Jordan

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, when You came to Jordan And asked to be baptized, What was Your vow and vision Of love and sacrifice? Was there a sudden splendor Of prophets, priests, and kings, A wind that stirred the waters, A blur of mighty wings? 2 Was this God's crowning moment Of all You had become, The Spirit's power and blessing: "Go now, You are My Son?" Did scripture join with scripture In words of sharp surprise "The Lord's Messiah shall conquer, Rejected and despised?" 3 Faith rests content with questions Of when and why and how, But craves the gift of seeing What God is doing now. Lord, bring us to our Jordan Of newly opened eyes, Through love, immersed in living, As You were once baptized. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Used With Tune: GENEVAN 130
