Wild and Lone the Prophet’s Voice
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Wild and lone the prophet's voice Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice
echoes through the desert still,
calling us to make a choice,
bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sins you prized,
yield your life to God's control.
2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows:
lives of justice, truth, and love.
Trust no other claim than those;
set your heart on things above.
Soon the Lord will come in power,
burning clean the threshing floor:
then will flames the chaff devour;
wheat alone shall fill God's store."
3 With such preaching, stark and bold,
John proclaimed salvation near,
and his timeless warnings hold
words of hope to all who hear.
So we dare to journey on,
led by faith through ways untrod,
till we come at last like John
to behold the Lamb of God. Topics: Christian Year Baptism of Jesus; Christian Year Transfiguration; Faith; Hope; Jesus Christ Advent; Jesus Christ Life; Judgment; Living in Christ; Repentance Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Man Of Sorrows
When From Scattered Lands Afar
Author: Charlotte E. Tonna Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: When from scattered lands afar Lyrics: 1 When from scattered lands afar
Spreads the voice of rumored war,
Nations in tumultuous pride
Heave like ocean’s roaring tide;
When the solar splendors fail,
When the crescent waxeth pale;
World! do thou the signal dread,
We exalt the drooping head.
2 When the powers that star-like reign
Sink dishonored to the plain,
We uplift the expectant eye—
Our redemption draweth nigh,
When the fig tree shoots appear,
Men behold their summer near;
When the hearts of rebels fail,
We the coming Conqueror hail.
3 Bridegroom of Thy weeping spouse,
Listen to her longing vows,
Listen to her widowed moan,
Listen to creation’s groan;
Bid, O bid Thy trumpet sound,
Gather Thine elect around:
Call them from the cheerless gloom,
Call them from the marble tomb.
4 From the grass-grown village grave,
From the deep dissolving wave,
From the whirlwind and the flame,
Mighty Head, Thy members claim.
Where Thy cross in anguish stood,
Where Thy life distilled in blood,
Where they mocked Thy dying groan,
King of nations, claim Thy throne. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH Text Sources: Supplement to The New Jubilee Harp (Boston: Advent Christian Publications Society, 1888)

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage?
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
and the people vainly dream
that in triumph they can wage
war against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
and the rulers plotting, say:
"Their dominion let us break,
let us cast their yoke away."
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
calm He sits enthroned on high;
soon His wrath will on them fall,
sore displeased He will reply:
"Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
and on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain."
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
yea I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
then Thy might shall be confessed
and Thy foes be overthrown."
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
hearken, judges of the earth;
learn to serve the Lord with fear,
mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way
His consuming wrath should break;
but supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take.

O Jehovah, Hear My Words
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words,
to my thoughts attentive be;
hear my cry, my King, my God,
I will make my prayer to thee.
With the morning light, O Lord,
thou shalt hear my voice arise,
and expectant I will bring
prayer as morning sacrifice.
2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God
who delightest not in sin;
evil shall not dwell with thee,
nor the proud thy favor win.
Evil-doers thou dost hate,
lying tongues thou wilt defeat;
God abhors the man who loves
violence and base deceit.
3 In the fulness of thy grace
to thy house I will repair;
bowing toward thy holy place,
in thy fear to worship there.
Lead me in thy righteousness,
let my foes assail in vain;
lest my feet be turned aside,
make thy way before me plain.
4 False and faithless are my foes,
in their mouth no truth is found;
deadly are the words they speak,
all their thoughts with sin abound.
Bring, O God, their plans to naught,
hold them guilty in thy sight,
for against thee and thy law
they have set themselves to fight.
5 O let all that trust thy care
ever glad and joyful be;
let them joy who love thy name,
safely guarded, Lord, by thee.
For a blessing from thy store
to the righteous thou wilt yield;
thou wilt compass him about
with thy favor as a shield.
