"On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry"

"On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry" was one of the hymns in an Advent service last year, and I noticed some musical mirroring of the text at the beginning of the fourth verse.  The first two lines are "Lay on the sick Thy healing hand / And make the fallen strong to stand," sung to these phrases from the tune "Puer nobis."*

"Thy healing hand" is sung to a descending group of notes (G F# E D), musically representing its being laid "on the sick."  In the same way (but in the opposite direction), "And make the fallen strong to stand" is sung to an ascending phrase (from A to D), illustrating that "stand[ing]" up after having "fallen."

*The Lutheran Hymnal provides the full title of the tune: Puer nobis nascitur, which is "to us a child is born" (from Isaiah 9:6) in Latin.
