To Jordan’s Stream the Savior Goes

To Jor­dan’s stream the Sav­ior goes

To do His Fa­ther’s will

His breast with sac­red ar­dor glows

Each pre­cept to fulfill.

Behold Him bur­ied in the flood

(The em­blem of His grave)

Who from the bo­som of His God

Came down

a world to save.

As from the wa­ter He as­cends

What mi­ra­cles ap­pear!

God with a voice His Son com­mends—

Let all the na­tions hear!

Ye youth­ful pil­grims

hear

re­joice—

Let this your cour­age raise:

What God ap­proves

be this your choice

And glo­ry in His ways.
