You wisely have ordained The holy ministry That we, your flock, may know The truth that sets us free. 2 O blessed ministry Of reconciliation, That shows the way to God And brings to us salvation! Lord, by your gospel pure, You bless and keep your fold; You call, enlighten, keep; You comfort and uphold. 3 Preserve this ministry While harvest days are keeping; And since the fields are ripe And hands are few for reaping, Send workers forth, O Lord, The sheaves to gather in That not a soul be lost Which you have come to win. 4 The servants you have called And to your Church are giving Preserve in doctrine pure And holiness of living. Your Spirit fill their hearts And charge their words with pow'r; What they should boldly speak, Oh, give them in that hour! 5 Bring those into your fold Who still to you are strangers; Guard those who are within Against offense and dangers. Press onward with your Word Till pastor and his fold Through faith in you, O Christ, Your glory shall behold.

Thine arm, O Lord, of old

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Thine arm, O Lord, of old In lands of desolation, Enclosed an humble fold, Redeem'd a congregation: Our fathers, like a flock, The great, good Shepherd led, Gave water from the rock, With heavenly manna fed. A poor, afflicted race, But in Thy name confiding, They walk'd before Thy face, Thou in their midst abiding; 284 While Satan's fellest rage With patient faith they bore; Consumed from age to age, Till known on earth no more. Yet was a remnant saved; Still wrestling with affliction, Their foes they singly braved, Beneath Thy benediction: Again went forth the word, Abroad the Spirit flew; The voice of God was heard, Creating all things new. An hundred years are past, Since that revival glorious; And still Thy Church stands fast, O'er earth and hell victorious; The path our fathers trod, Lay through Gethsemane, Thither, O Lamb of God, This day we follow Thee. Thence borne to Calvary's brow, Thy griefs and sorrows viewing, With heart, soul, spirit, now Our covenant renewing: Thy love we here record, Our sins with tears bewail; Thy blood pleads for us, Lord; O let that plea prevail. Through suffering, shame, and loss, Through honour, wealth, and pleasure, 285 To glory in Thy Cross, As our eternal treasure; That Cross with joy to bear Through realms that know Thee not; And thus Thy way prepare, Still be Thy Brethren's lot.

O fill our eager hearts With Thy refreshing grace, And make them fit to be Thy chosen dwelling-place. 2 Let frankincense aspire, Pure sighs of sweetest savor, Which pine with fond desire' To find Thy gracious favor. O make them purer yet, And send Thy Spirit down, The altar of our hearts With holy fire to crown. 3 And myrrh, too, we prepare, Our bitter tribulation, Such grief as Thou didst bear For us and our salvation. Be strength and courage ours In toll and tears and pain, With Thee to wear the yoke, The cross with Thee sustain. 4 Lo, all of ours is Thine, Each hope and thought and feeling: Come, blessed Babe divine, Thyself in us revealing. To Thee, and God in Thee, Our dearest wishes tend: O make us thine and His Through ages without end.

Now Thank We All Our God (Bushfire Memorial Hymn)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Now thank we all our God Lyrics: ` Now thank we all our God for lives beloved and cherished, the brave who faced the flames, the young and old who perished, for those who fight the fires that sear our country's soul, for all who give relief to comfort and make whole. 1 No tears can stem this grief through outback, town or city, yet as disaster strikes, we share a common pity, where hearts and hands can help to build or recreate, our nation stands as one to mourn our people's fate. 3 Our lives are held in trust, O God of our believing, and we who still are spared, owe duty to the grieving, for everyone is kin when all can feel this pain, as families are gone and shattered ones remain. 4 Now thank we all our God for courage meeting danger, when selfless spirits fight for mate or helpless stranger, when wind and bushfire flare and terror grips our faith, compassion keeps us strong, through tragedy and death.
