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! Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To gird the right and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! O that with them might pass the world, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace; Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stand at last with joy before Thy face. Amen. Used With Tune: TOULON
