Wild and Lone the Prophet’s Voice
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Glory to God #163 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Christian Year Baptism of Jesus; Christian Year Transfiguration; Faith; Hope; Jesus Christ Advent; Jesus Christ Life; Judgment; Living in Christ; Repentance First Line: Wild and lone the prophet's voice Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice
echoes through the desert still,
calling us to make a choice,
bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sins you prized,
yield your life to God's control.
2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows:
lives of justice, truth, and love.
Trust no other claim than those;
set your heart on things above.
Soon the Lord will come in power,
burning clean the threshing floor:
then will flames the chaff devour;
wheat alone shall fill God's store."
3 With such preaching, stark and bold,
John proclaimed salvation near,
and his timeless warnings hold
words of hope to all who hear.
So we dare to journey on,
led by faith through ways untrod,
till we come at last like John
to behold the Lamb of God. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH

How sad our state by nature is!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #306 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith in Christ for Pardon and Sanctification; Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin how deep it stains!
And satan binds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.

Sounds from the sacred word,
"Ho, ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust upon the Lord."
3 My soul obeys th'almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord,
Oh! help my unbelief.
4 To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly,
Here let me wash my spotted soul,
From crimes of deepest dye.
5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King,
My reigning sins subdue,
Drive the old dragon from his seat,
With all his hellish crew.
6 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall:
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus and my all.
How sad our state by nature is!

Refrain:
Trust and obey-
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.

Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
4 But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for those who will trust and obey.
5 Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go-
Never fear, only trust and obey. Scripture: Exodus 19:5 Languages: English Tune Title: TRUST AND OBEY

In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are,
In full and endless sight.
