Let Kings and Prophets Yield Their Name
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let kings and prophets yield their name
To Jesus, true Anointed One,
For whom a nation looked in hope
Yet failed to see that God had done
A strange and unexpected thing:
God sent a servant, not a king.
2 But God reveals to searching faith
The truths that pious dogmas hide:
When Jesus asked the twelve his name,
Blunt Peter stepped forth and replied
In words that seemed both right an odd:
"You are Messiah, Son of God."
3 Give us, O God, the grace to know
The limits of our certainty:
Help us, like Peter, to declare
The still-unfolding mystery
Of One who reigns though sacrificed,
Our Lamb and Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Topics: Christ the King; Ordinary Time, Twelfth Sunday C; Ordinary Time, Twenty-First Sunday A; Ordinary Time, Twenty-Fourth Sunday B Used With Tune: HICKORY HILL
