Turn Back, O Man
Author: Clifford Bax Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.
Old now is earth, and none may count her days,
Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame,
Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim,
"Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways."
2 Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.
Age after age their tragic empires rise,
Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep;
Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep,
Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.
3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one;
Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done.
Now, even now, once more from earth to sky,
Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry,
"Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!"
Amen. Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31 Used With Tune: OLD 124TH

And drink the holy blood for you outpoured.
Offered was he for greatest and for least,
Himself the victim and himself the priest.

To all believers life eternal yields,
With heav'nly bread makes them that hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsty soul.
3 Come forward, then, with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here.
Before your altar, Lord, your servants bow;
In this your feast of love be with us now. Topics: Holy Communion; Holy Communion Used With Tune: OLD 124TH Text Sources: Latin hymn, 7th century, abr.

God of the Prophets

Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast.
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one better, nobler than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets, men who are intent
To be your witnesses in word and deed,
Their hearts aflame, their lips made eloquent,
Their eyes awake to ev'ry human need.
3 Anoint them priests, strong intercessors they,
For pardon and for love and hope and peace,
That, through their pleading, guilty sinners may
Find Jesus' mercy and from sin release.
4 Anoint them kings, yes, kingly kings, O Lord.
Anoint them with the Spirit of your Son.
Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword;
Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won.
5 Make them apostles, heralds of your cross;
Forth let them go to tell the world of grace.
Inspired by you, may they count all but loss
And stand at last with joy before your face. Topics: Ministry; Ministry Used With Tune: OLD 124TH
