God of the Prophets

Author: Denis Wortman Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #429 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: God of the prophets, bless the prophets' heirs Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets, bless the prophets' heirs; Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; each age in turn for solemn tasks prepares; make each one nobler, stronger than the last. 2 Anoint them prophets! make their ears attend to thy divinest speech; their hearts awake to human need; their lips make eloquent right to enthrone and ev'ry evil break. 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'spure life of sacrifice. 4 Anoint them rulers, gentle rulers, Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son: theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; theirs, by strong love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Send 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.
