\nOn Jordan’s banks the Baptist’s cry
\nAnnounces that the Lord is nigh;
\nAwake and hearken, for he brings
\nGlad tidings of the King of kings!<\/p>\n
2
\nThen cleansed be every life from sin;
\nMake straight the way for God within,
\nAnd let us all our hearts prepare
\nFor Christ to come and enter there.<\/p>\n
3
\nWe hail You as our Savior, Lord,
\nOur refuge and our great reward;
\nWithout Your grace we waste away
\nLike flow’rs that wither and decay.<\/p>\n
4
\nStretch forth Your hand, our health restore,
\nAnd make us rise to fall no more;
\nOh, let Your face upon us shine
\nAnd fill the world with love divine.<\/p>\n
