John 1:23

• [Joh 1:23] Herald, In The Wilderness

  Herald, in the wilderness, Breaking up the road, Sinking mountains, raising plains, For the path of God; Prophet, to the multitudes Calling to repent, In the way of righteousness Unto Israel sent; Messenger, God’s chosen one Foremost to proclaim, Proffered titles passing by, Pointing to the Lamb. Captive, for the word of truth Boldly witnessing; Then in Herod’s dungeon cave, Faint and languishing; Martyr, sacrificed to sin At that feast of shame; As his life foreshowed the Lord, In his death the same— Holy Jesus, when He heard, Went apart to pray: Thus may we our lesson take From his saint today.

• [Joh 1:23] On Jordan’s Bank The Baptist’s Cry

  On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Come, then, and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings from the King of kings! Then cleansed be every breast from sin; Make straight the way for God within; Prepare we in our hearts a home, Where such a mighty Guest may come. 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. Stretch forth Thine hand, to heal our sore, And make us rise and fall no more; Once more upon Thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. To Him Who left the throne of Heaven To save mankind, all praise be given; Like praise be to the Father done, And Holy Spirit, Three in One.

• [Joh 1:23] There’s A Voice In The Wilderness Crying

  There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! O Zion, that bringest good tidings, Get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flowers of the field they perish, The works of men decay, The power and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away. But the word of our God endureth, The arm of the Lord is strong; He stands in the midst of nations, And He will right the wrong. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, And fold the lambs to His breast; In pastures of peace He’ll lead them, And give to the weary rest. There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go!

John 21:19

• [Joh 21:19] Come And Dine

  Jesus has a table spread Where the saints of God are fed, He invites His chosen people, “Come and dine”; With His manna He doth feed And supplies our every need: O ’tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time! Refrain “Come and dine,” the Master calleth, “Come and dine”; You may feast at Jesus’ table all the time; He Who fed the multitude, turned the water into wine, To the hungry calleth now, “Come and dine.” The disciples came to land, Thus obeying Christ’s command, For the Master called unto them, “Come and dine”; There they found their heart’s desire, Bread and fish upon the fire; Thus He satisfies the hungry every time. Refrain Soon the Lamb will take His bride To be ever at His side, All the host of Heaven will assembled be; O ’twill be a glorious sight, All the saints in spotless white; And with Jesus they will feast eternally. Refrain
