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

Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy 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 Thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace: Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stay at last with joy before Thy face. 6 O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn: A weary world awaits Thy reign sublime! Topics: Holy Days Ember Days Used With Tune: OLD 124TH
