Lyrics
Verse 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!
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
