By the banks of the Jordan River
Lyrics:
यार्दन नदी तीरे तीरे
संत जोहान देलै स्नान
पवितर आत्मा कर वरदान से
भईर देलै ईश्वर आबा
मनवा ऊपरे
यार्दन नदी तीरे तीरे
संत जोहान देलै स्नान
1. निर्जन परदेस में ऐहे आवाज आहे
सोझ कईर देवा सोभे
प्रभु कर डहर
जे अपन पाप लगिन
पछतावा करी
अनुग्रह उकर सबके मिली
2. खुईल गेलक स्वरग
प्रभु कर महिमा लगिन
आवाज सुनलैं येसु
कर नाम में
ई मोर प्यारा बेटा लागे
ईकर से मोय खुस आहों
by the banks of the jordan river,
saint john was baptizing.
with the gift of the holy spirit,
god revealed himself
upon the people.
by the banks of the jordan river,
saint john was baptizing.
verse 1 – a voice in the wilderness
in a lonely wilderness, a voice was heard,
prepare the way of the lord,
make his path straight.
those who repent for their sins
will receive his grace and mercy.
verse 2 – the heavens open
the heavens opened,
and the glory of the lord appeared.
a voice was heard by jesus,
saying in his name:
“this is my beloved son,
in him i am well pleased.”
