On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Come near and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings from the King of Kings. 2. Be purified each Christian breast, And furnished for so great a Guest; Yea, let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3. For Thou art our Salvation, Lord, Our Refuge and our great Reward; Without Thy grace our souls must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. 4. Stretch forth Thy hand a balm to pour. And make us rise to fall no more; Upon Thy pardoned people shine, And fill the world with grace divine. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
