Hymn: Such a scandal, Cyrus chosen
Proper 24 year A
Isaiah 45: 1 – 7
Such a scandal, Cyrus chosen,
could he set God's people free?
God's anointed they would call him;
source of grace and liberty?
Who would choose the chief oppressor,
tyrant who'd repress and kill,
giving him the chief vocation,
make him subject to God's will...
Tune: SHIPSTON or STUTTGART
