Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger than the last. 2 Anoint them prophets, men who are intent To be Your witnesses in word and deed, Their hearts aflame, their lips make 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: Ordination, Installation Used With Tune: OLD 124TH, abbr.
