God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #782 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God the Spirit, guide and guardian,
Wind-sped flame and hov'ring dove,
Breath of life and voice of prophets,
Sign of blessing, pow’r of love:
Give to those who lead your people
Fresh anointing of your grace;
Send them forth as bold apostles
To your Church in ev’ry place.
2 Christ our Savior, Sov’reign, Shepherd,
Word-made-flesh, Love crucified,
Teacher, healer, suff’ring Servant,
Friend of sinners, foe of pride:
In your tending may your servants
Learn and live a shepherd’s care;
Grant them courage and compassion
Shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, life-bestower,
Truth beyond all thought’s recall,
Fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
Giving and forgiving all:
As you know our strength and weakness,
So may those the church exalts
Oversee its life steadfastly
Yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious Being,
Undivided and diverse,
Deeper than our minds can fathom,
Greater than our creeds rehearse:
Help us in our varied callings
Your full image to proclaim,
That our ministries uniting
May give glory to your Name. Topics: Mission / Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: SHALLOWFORD
