lutheranhymnsWhat is "crown your ancient church's story"?
Not sure about that. It seems to be saying God is about to cap off the millennia-long history of the church with something imminent, but I don't really see why contemporary evils would warrant any more intervention than some of the other crises that have come and gone. Then again, there are several Bible verses about "this current [~30 AD] generation will see the end of the world as we know it, etc." that kind of get swept under the rug, so some quantity of time dilation may be in effect.
That's about it, although I like "save us from weak resignation" as a turn of phrase.
