1 God of the prophets...Let's try this again...<br /><br />1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;<br />Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;<br />each age its solemn task may claim but once;<br />make each one nobler, stronger than the last.<br /><br />2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent<br />to thy divinest speech, their hearts awake<br />to human need; their lips make eloquent<br />to gird the right and ev'ry evil break.<br /><br />3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors, Lord!<br />Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son;<br />theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword;<br />theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won.<br /><br />4 Make them apostles! Heralds of thy cross.<br />Forth may they go to tell all realms thy grace;<br />inspired of thee, may they count all but loss,<br />and stand at last with joy before thy face.
