O DE
4 He whom Thou hast called, O

Lord, the voice of one crying in the
wilderness heard Thy Voice when
Thou thundered upon many waters,
bearing witness to Thy Son. Wholly
filled with the Spirit who had come,
he cried aloud: Thou art Christ, the
Wisdom and Power of God!
5
Jesus, the Prince of Life, has
come
to
set
loose
from
Condemnation Adam, the Firstformed man; and although as God
He needs no cleansing, yet for the
sake of fallen mankind He was
cleansed in the Jordan.
In its
streams He slew enmity and grants
the
Peace
that
passes
all
understanding.
6
The Voice of the Word, the
Candlestick of the Light, the Morning
Star and Forerunner
of the Sun,
cried in the Wilderness to all the
peoples: Repent and be Cleansed
while there is yet time. For behold,
Christ is at hand, Who delivers the
world from corruption.!
7 The breath of the wind heavy
with Dew and the Descent of the
Angel of God preserved the Holy
Children from all harm, as they
walked in
the fiery
furnace.
Refreshed with Dew in the flames,
they sang in Thanksgiving: Blessed
art Thou and praised above all, O
Lord God of our Fathers!
8 We Praise, we Bless and we
Worship the Lord!
The
Babylonian furnace, as it poured

forth
Dew,
foreshadowed
a
Marvellous Mystery - how the Jordan
should receive in its streams the
Immaterial
Fire,
and
should
encompass the Creator,
when He
was Baptised in the Flesh. Him do ye
peoples Bless and Exalt above all
forever!
