The Son Of Man From Jordan Rose Lyrics

1. The Son of Man from Jordan rose,
And pray'd to God above;
When lo, the op'ning Heav'ns disclose
A swift-descending Dove.

2. The Spirit, lighting on His Brow,
Anoints the Holy One; --
The Father's voice declaring -- "Thou
Art My Beloved Son."

3. So when, through His Baptizing bless'd
The Font new birth conveys,
Man kneels a son of God confess'd,
Heav'n opens as he prays.

4. Fair innocency, like the dove's,
Invests him, purged from sin;
For God the brooding Spirit moves,
Directs and rules within.

5. O Christ, Whose mercy cleansed our stain
With streams of Grace Divine;
Let us not soil the robes again
Made white in Blood of Thine.

6. Redeemer of a world undone,
We praise Thee and adore; --
Jesu, with God the Father One,
And Spirit evermore.
