"Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering"

Last Sunday (the 12th) was the observation of the Baptism of Our Lord, but in church this week, I found a small feature to write about in a hymn that references this event, so I thought I would write about it now anyway.  The hymn is "Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering," sung to the tune "Rendez à Dieu."

The last line of the first verse, referring to the Spirit in the form of a dove, is "Descends on God's Anointed One," sung to this musical phrase:

The descending melody gives a sense of the "descend[ing]" dove.
