Select language to translate this lyric
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry announces that the Lord is nigh.
Awake and harken, for he brings glad ings of the King of king
Then cleansed be every life from sin: make straight the way for God within, and let us all our hearts pare for Christ to come and enter there.
We hail you as our Savior, Lord, our refuge and our great reward.
Without your grace we waste away like flowers that wither and decay.
Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, and make us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine and fill the world with love divine.
All praise to you, eternal Son, whose advent has our freedom won, whom with the Father we adore, and Holy Spirit, evermore.
