<h2>O YOUNG AND FEARLESS PROPHET</h2>
<p align="center"><h3>&#8220;&#8216;Who do people say the Son of Man is?&#8217; They replied &#8216;Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.&#8217; &#8216;But what about you?&#8217; He asked. &#8216;Who do you say I am?&#8217; Simon Peter answered, &#8216;You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.&#8217;&#8221; Matthew 16:18</h3></p>

<p>O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee,<br>
Thy life is still a summons to serve humanity;<br>
To make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd,<br>
To stand with humble courage for truth with hearts uncowed.</p>
<p>We marvel at the purpose that held Thee to Thy course<br>
While ever on the hilltop before Thee loomed the cross;<br>
Thy steadfast face set forward where love and duty shone,<br>
While we betray so quickly and leave Thee there alone.</p>
<p>O help us stand unswerving against war&#8217;s bloody way,<br>
Where hate and lust and falsehood hold back Christ&#8217;s holy sway;<br>
Forbid false love of country that blinds us to His call,<br>
Who lifts above the nations the unity of all.</p>
<p>Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth,<br>
While others starve and hunger and plead for work and health;<br>
Where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread,<br>
Who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread.</p>
<p>O young and fearless Prophet, we need Thy presence here,<br>
Amid our pride and glory to see Thy face appear;<br>
Once more to hear Thy challenge above our noisy day,<br>
Again to lead us forward along God&#8217;s holy way.</p>
