Advent, 2011
On Jordan’s bank the
Baptist’s cry
Announces that the Lord is
nigh;
Awake and hearken, for he
brings
Glad tidings of the King of
kings.
Then cleansed be ev’ry heart
from sin;
Make straight the way for
God within,
And let every heart prepare
a home
Where such a mighty guest
may come.
Charles Coffin, 18th century
