Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #432 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We bid you welcome in the name
of Jesus, our exalted Head.
Come as a servant; so he came,
and we receive you in his stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
your fold from all that fosters sin,
and nourish lambs, and feed the sheep,
the wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher, sent from God
charged his whole counsel to declare.
lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
while we uphold your hands with prayer.
4 Come as a messenger of peace,
filled with the Spirit, fired with love;
Live to behold our large increase,
and die to meet us all above. Topics: Ordination and Installation; Installation; Ministry; Ordination Scripture: Matthew 20:26-28 Languages: English Tune Title: HUS
