We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet

Author: William Fowler, 1830–1865 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #19 (1985) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1. We thank thee, O God, for a prophet To guide us in these latter days. We thank thee for sending the gospel To lighten our minds with its rays. We thank thee for every blessing Bestowed by thy bounteous hand. We feel it a pleasure to serve thee And love to obey thy command. 2. When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us And threaten our peace to destroy, There is hope smiling brightly before us, And we know that deliv’rance is nigh. We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness. We’ve proved him in days that are past. The wicked who fight against Zion Will surely be smitten at last. 3. We’ll sing of his goodness and mercy. We’ll praise him by day and by night, Rejoice in his glorious gospel, And bask in its life-giving light. Thus on to eternal perfection The honest and faithful will go, While they who reject this glad message Shall never such happiness know. Languages: English Tune Title: FOWLER

As when the Hebrew prophet raised

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #189 (1997) Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 As when the Hebrew prophet raised the brazen serpent high the wounded looked and straight were cured; the people ceased to die, 2 so from the Saviour on the cross a healing virtue flows; who looks to him with living faith is saved from endless woes, 3 for God gave up the Son to death, so generous was that love, that all the faithful might enjoy eternal life above. 4 Not to condemn us, or to judge, the Lamb of God appeared; no weapons in his hands are seen, nor voice of terror heard. 5 Christ came to raise our fallen state, and our lost hopes restore; faith leads us to the mercy sea, and bids us fear no more.

O Prophet Souls of All the Years

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #272 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years, speak yet to us in love; your far-off vision, toil, and tears to their fulfillment move. 2 From tropic clime and zones of frost they come of every name; this, this our day of Pentecost, on us the tongues of flame. 3 One Life together we confess, one all-in-dwelling Word, one holy Call to righteousness within the silence heard: 4 One Law that guides the shining spheres as on through space they roll, and speaks in flaming characters on Sinais of the soul: 5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless, an ever-flowing sea, that holds within its vast embrace time and eternity.

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #276 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee: your life is still a summons to serve humanity, to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts unbowed. 2 O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back your holy sway; forbid false love of country, that turns us from your call who lifts above the nation the neighborhood of all. 3 Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, that knows not race nor station as bound'ries of the mind; that learns to value beauty, in heart, or mind, or soul, and longs to see God's children as sacred, perfect, whole. 4 Stir up in us a protest against unneeded wealth; for some go starved and hungry who plead for work and health. Once more give us your challenge above our noisy day, and come to lead us forward along your holy way. Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's new creation shall come, instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #590 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar, by Love's divine appointing. With rare perfume she filled the room, presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, the sneers of scorn defying. With rare perfume she filled the room, preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb by Love's divine commission. She saw, she heard, she preached the Word, arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, with resurrection gospel. She saw, she heard, she preached the Word, apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, for centuries were hidden, unsung, unwritten, and unheard, derided and forbidden, the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire, on free and slave descending, can tumble our dividing walls, our shame and sadness mending. 4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, by Love's divine ordaining, the friends we need, to serve and lead, their powers and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, from women, men and children, the friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome! Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

Kings of knowledge and of law, to the glorious circle draw; all who work and all who wait, sing, "The Lord is good and great!" 3 Men and women, young and old, raise the anthem manifold; and let children's happy hearts in this worship bear their parts; from the north to southern pole, let the mighty chorus roll: “Holy, holy, holy One, glory be to God alone!” Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Voices United #44 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Prophets Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold, "Peace on the earth, good will to all, from heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled; and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and warring humankind hears not the love song which they bring. O hush the noise and cease your strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 For, lo! the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendours fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
