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 10:3-5

• [Joh 10:3] “follow Me!” A Call So Tender

  “Follow Me!” A call so tender Falls upon my list’ning ear; ’Tis the voice of Christ, my Savior, ’Tis the Shepherd’s call I hear. Refrain O that call! Loving call! ’Tis the sweetest voice of all. How it draws me nearer to Him When I hear my Shepherd’s call! Into pastures green He leadeth, His own sheep He calls by name; When their feet are sore and weary, In His arms He carries them. Refrain Little flock, fear not! He shields thee From the dangers of the land. Hear His promise: None shall ever Pluck thee from His mighty hand. Refrain In His steps, then, I would follow, Seek in Him my all in all; I am safe, whate’er befalls me, When I heed His tender call. Refrain

• [Joh 10:3] God Leads Us Along

  In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along; Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet, God leads His dear children along. Refrain Some through the waters, some through the flood, Some through the fire, but all through the blood; Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, In the night season and all the day long. Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads His dear children along; Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night, God leads His dear children along. Refrain Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose, God leads His dear children along; Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes, God leads His dear children along. Refrain Away from the mire, and away from the clay, God leads His dear children along; Away up in glory, eternity’s day, God leads His dear children along. Refrain

• [Joh 10:3] Lead Us, Heavenly Father (herford)

  Lead us, heavenly Father, In our opening way, Lead us in the morning Of our little day. While our hearts are happy, While our souls are free, May we give our childhood As a song to Thee. Lead us, heavenly Father, As the way grows long, Be our strong salvation, Be our joyous song. Gladdened by Thy mercies, Chastened by Thy rod, May we walk through all things Humbly with our God. Lead us, heavenly Father, By Thy voices clear— Through Thy prophets holy, Through Thy Son so dear— Him Who took the children In His arms of love; May we all be gathered In His home above.

• [Joh 10:3] Seeking For Me

  Jesus, my Savior, to Bethlehem came, Laid in a manger to sorrow and shame; Oh, it was wonderful, blest be His Name, Seeking for me, for me: Seeking for me, seeking for me, Seeking for me, seeking for me, Oh, it was wonderful, blest be His Name, Seeking for me, for me. Jesus, my Savior, in mercy and love, Came from the mansions of Heaven above, Tenderly pleading with sinners like me, Pleading for me, for me: Pleading for me, pleading for me, Pleading for me, pleading for me, Tenderly pleading for sinners like me, Pleading for me, for me. Jesus, my Savior, the same as of old, While I did wander afar from the fold, Gently and long He hath pled with my soul, Calling for me, for me: Calling for me, calling for me, Calling for me, calling for me, Gently and long He hath pled with my soul, Calling for me, for me. Jesus, my Savior, will come from on high, Sweet is the promise as weary years fly; Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky, Coming for me, for me: Coming for me, coming for me, Coming for me, coming for me, Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky, Coming for me, for me.

• [Joh 10:3] Shepherd’s Call, The

  A shepherd band their flocks are keeping, And gentle lambs are sweetly sleeping; When suddenly they all behold An angel in bright robes, with harp of gold. Glad tidings of great joy he bringeth, The azure vault with anthems ringeth; Immanuel awakes the song, And countless hosts the glorious theme prolong. “To you, this day, is born a Savior, Your Prophet, Priest and King forever; All glory be to God,” they cry; “All glory be to God,” let earth reply. “On earth be peace with mercy blending, Goodwill to men, and love unending”; Thus sweetly sing the angel throng, And all the heav’nly host rehearse the song. Through field and wood the song resoundeth, O’er hill and vale the chorus boundeth; Exultingly the echoes roll, And hymns of triumph spread from pole to pole. The shepherds view the host returning, Their hearts with holy ardor burning; To Bethlehem they wend their way, Repeating with glad tongues th’angelic lay. In haste they seek the heav’nly Stranger; They find the Babe laid in a manger; With wonder and with awe they fall, And joyfully adore Him, Lord of all. Now every voice with rapture swelleth, For Christ the Lord with mortals dwelleth; Let men and angels Him adore, And shout their loud hosannas evermore.
