  1. On Jordan's bank the Baptists 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 breast from sin;
    Make straight the way for God within,
    Prepare we in our hearts a home
    Where such a mighty Guest may come.

  3. For thou art our salvation, Lord,
    Our refuge and our great reward;
    Without thy grace we waste away
    Like flowers that wither and decay.

  4. 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.

  5. All praise, eternal Son, to thee,
    Whose advent doth thy people free;
    Whom with the Father we adore
    And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.
