verse 1
On Jordan?s bank the Baptist?s cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh.
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings
verse 2
Then cleansed be ev'ry Christian breast,
And furnished for so great a Guest;
O, let us each our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great Reward
verse 3
Once more upon Your people shine
And fill the world with love divine
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
Whose advent set your people free
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost, for evermore
For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great Reward
