God of the Prophets!
Author: John Underwood Stephens; Denis Wortman Hymnal: The Hymnbook #520 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets! Bold and eloquent,
Thy whispered word from housetops to proclaim,
Evil to lash with love's pure chastisement,
The captive soul to free in Jesus' name.
3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
O might, with them, the world, though gone astray,
Pass into Christ's pure life of sacrifice!
4 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord:
Anoint them with the spirit of Thy Son:
Theirs, not a jeweled crown, a bloodstained sword;
Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won.
5 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross;
Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace;
Inspired by Thee, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before Thy face.
Amen. Topics: Ministry, The; Ordination Scripture: 1 Samuel 10:26 Tune Title: TOULON

to human need, our quickened hearts awake;
fill us with power, our lips make eloquent
for righteousness that shall all evil break.

Anoint us with the Spirit of your Son:
ours not a monarch's crown or tyrant's sword;
ours by the love of Christ a kingdom won.

forth may we go to tell all realms your grace:
by you inspired, may we count all but loss,
and stand at last with joy before your face.

The eager peoples flocking to be free,
And, from the breeds of earth, Thy silent sway
Fashions the nation of the broadening day.

For hearts aflame to serve Thy destined good,
For faith, and will to win what faith shall see,
