Turn Back, O Man, Forswear Thy Foolish Ways

Author: Clifford Bax Hymnal: H1955 #490 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 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.

'Twas on That Night

Take, eat, and live. And oft the sacred rite renew That brings my saving love to view." 4 Then in His hands the cup He raised, And God anew He thanked and praised, While kindness in His bosom glowed, And from His lips salvation flowed. 5 "My blood I thus pour forth," He cries, "To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is sealed, And heaven's eternal grace revealed. 6 "With love to man this cup is fraught; Let all partake the sacred draught; Through latest ages let it pour, In memory of my dying hour."
