LyicsMEEKLY in Jordan's ancient stream,
The great Redeemer bow'd;
Bright was the glory's sacred beam,
That hushed the wondring crowd.
"Behold my Son--the well beloved,"
Proclaimed the heavenly voice:
O sinners hear the saving word,
And make this Christ your choice.
DOXOLOGY.
Glory to God on high, be given,
Who pitied dying men--
Who sent Messiah down from heaven,
And owned him when he came.
Bright angels, strike your loudest strings,
Your sweetest voices raise;
Let heaven and all created things
Sound our Immanuel's praise.
HOSANNA.
Hosanna to the Prince of Life!
Who bow'd in Jordan's wave:
He rose again--the Son of God--
Omnipotent to save.
Hosanna to Messiah come!
From Jordan's sacred flood,
He rises, and the Eternal owns
Messiah Son of God.
