333   On Jordan s Banks the Baptist s Cry




[1]
On Jordan s banks the Baptist s cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings!

[2]
Then cleansed be every life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.

[3]
We hail You as our Savior Lord
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without Your grace we waste away
Like flow rs that wither and decay.

[4]
Stretch forth Your hand our health restore
And make us rise to fall no more;
Oh let Your face upon us shine
And fill the world with love divine.
