When Jesus to the Jordan came

When Jesus to the Jordan came,
the sinless one, to know our shame,
the waters of the earth were giv'n
the pow'r to cleanse our hearts for heav'n

A voice like thunder then was heard,
the Father witnessed to the Word.
The Spirit like a dove came down
and glory settled on the Son.

The Voice said, "This is my dear Son.
O hear this words for he has come
to save the world, to do my will,
in him all things will be fulfilled."

O praise the Father of the Word!
O praise our Saviour, Christ the Lord!
The Spirit, living in our hearts,
will make our praise a joyful task.
