Entrance  94 On Jordan's Bank 
1. 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. 
2. Then cleansed be ev'ry heart from sin;
Make straight the way of God within;
Oh, let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there. 
3. To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth, and let Thy light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more. 
4. All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whose advent sets Thy people free;
Whom with the Father we adore 
And Holy Ghost forever more.

1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now, 
the Lord of life will come.


Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Make straight a high-way for God!


2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain, 
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed, 
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)


3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry? 
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)


(same melody as verse 2)
4. Zion, shout from the mountain top, 
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)


(same melody as verse 1)
5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young. (refrain)


306 Spirit of the living God
modern version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BagH-zTfnsQ


(performance notes: we will sing/play this very softly at first, then slightly louder the next repeat)
Spirit of the living God,
fall afresh on me;
Spirit of the living God,
fall afresh on me.


Break me, melt me, 
mould me, fill me.
Spirit of the living God,
fall afresh on me.
(repeat from beginning)


Final:   Days of Elijah 
Brooklyn tabernacle choir: (start at 1:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqTLsIyx3I0
Twila Paris version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWSATpx7uzk
Robin Mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s4hkcZhfqQ 


(keyboard & acoustic guitar)
These are the days of Elijah, 
declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials, 
of famine and darkness and sword
still we are the voice in the desert crying, 
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord"


Chorus: (enter elec. bass or elec. guitar as bass)
Behold he comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice it's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes


(elec. rhythm guitar)
And these are the days of Ezekiel,
the dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David,
rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest,
the fields are white in Your world
And we are Your labourers in Your vineyard,
declaring the Word of the Lord


(Repeat Chorus twice, 2nd time a capella until 2nd line)
