Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 843 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgressions,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with justice speedy
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth;
love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him, on the mountains,
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness, in fountains,
from hill to valley flow.
5 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever;
that name to us is Love. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Christian Year: Advent; Freedom and Liberation; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent; Jesus Christ: Reign; Justice Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: SHEFFIELD

The Voice of God is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
to women and to men;
the voice once heard in Zion,
resounds on earth again:
whom shall I send to succor
my people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
the bonds of shame and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
in slum and mine and mill;
no field or mart is silent,
no city street is still.
I see my people falling
in darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
the fetters which they bear?
3 We heed, O God, your summons,
and answer: Here are we!
Send us upon your errand,
let us your servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
our years a passing hour,
But you can use our weakness
to magnify your power.
4 From ease and plenty save us;
from pride of place absolve;
purge us of low desire;
lift us to high resolve;
take us, and make us holy;
teach us your will and way.
Speak, and behold! we answer;
command, and we obey! Topics: God's World Justice and Righteousness; Cities; Commitment; Discipleship; God: Righteousness; Justice; Men; Righteousness; Women Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Steal Away to Jesus
O Young and Fearless Prophet
Author: S. Ralph Harlow Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals 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 uncowed.
2 We marvel at the purpose
that held you to your course
while ever on the hilltop
before you loomed the cross;
your steadfast face set forward
where love and duty shone,
while we betray so quickly
and leave you there alone.
3 O help us stand unswerving
against war's bloody way,
where hate and lust and falsehood
hold back Christ's holy sway;
forbid false love of country
that keeps us from your call,
you lift above the nations
the unity of all.
4 Stir up in us a protest
against our greed for wealth,
while others starve and hunger
and plead for work and health;
where homes with little children
cry out for lack of bread,
who live their years sore burdened
beneath a gloomy dread.
5 O young and fearless Prophet,
we need your presence here,
amid our pride and glory
to see your face appear;
once more to hear your challenge
above our noisy day,
again to lead us forward
along God's holy way. Topics: God's World Justice and Righteousness; Discipleship; God: Righteousness; Jesus Christ: Presence; Justice; Righteousness; Hunger Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

Every Time I Feel the Spirit
Meter: Irregular Appears in 42 hymnals First Line: Upon the mountain when my Lord spoke Refrain First Line: Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart Lyrics: [Refrain:]
Every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart,
I will pray.
Yes, every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart,
I will pray.
1 Upon the mountain, my Lord spoke,
out of his mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so fine,
ask my Lord if all was mine. [Refrain]
2 Jordan River chilly and cold,
chills the body, not the soul.
Ain't but one train on this track,
runs to heaven and right back. [Refrain]
3 I have heartache, I have woe,
I have trouble here below.
While God leads me I'll not fear,
I am sheltered by God's care. [Refrain] Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance; Prayer; Guidance; Holy Spirit; Spirituals Used With Tune: PENTECOST Text Sources: African-American spiritual

Lord of Our Highest Love!
Author: G. Y. Tickle Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of our highest love!
Let now your peace be given;
fix all our thoughts on things above,
our hearts on thee in heaven.
2 Then dearest Christ, draw near,
while we your table spread;
and crown the feast with heavenly cheer,
yourself the living bread.
3 And when the loaf we break,
your own rich blessing give,
may all with loving hearts partake
and all new strength receive.
4 Dear Christ! what memories crowd
around the sacred cup!
The upper room! Gethsemane!
Your foes! Your lifting up!

enough our souls to win—-
enough to melt our hearts and prove
the antidote of sin. Topics: The Church at Worship The Lord's Supper; God's Church The Church at Worship: The Lord's Supper; Lord's Supper Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
