Lord, pour thy Spirit from on high

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #183b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high, And Thine ordainèd servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply, And clothe Thy priests with righteousness. 2 Within Thy temple when they stand, To teach the truth as taught by Thee, Saviour, like stars in Thy right hand, Let all Thy Church's pastors be. 3 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness and meekness from above, To bear Thy people in their heart, And love the souls whom Thou dost love; 4 To watch, and pray, and never faint, By day and night strict guard to keep, To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, To feed thy lambs, and fold thy sheep. 5 So, when their work is finished here, They may in hope their charge resign; So, when their Master shall appear, They may with crowns of glory shine. Amen. Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

Thou Who the night in pray'r didst spend

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #184 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend, And then Thy twelve apostles send; And bidd'st us pray the harvest's Lord To send forth sowers of Thy word, Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless With seven-fold gifts of holiness. 2 Oh, may Thy pastors faithful be, Not laboring for themselves, but Thee; Give grace to feed with wholesome food The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood; To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove How dearly they the Shepherd love! 3 Oh, may Thy people faithful be, And in Thy pastors honor Thee, And with them work, and for them pray, And gladly Thee in them obey; Receive the prophet of the Lord, And gain the prophet's own reward! 4 So may we, when our work is done, Together stand before the throne; And joyful hearts and voices raise In one united song of praise, With all the bright celestial host, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLMUTZ

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #197 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God; comfort those who sit in darkness, mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved his anger he no more will see or heed. She hath suffered many a day now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness into ever-springing gladness. 3 For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, bidding all men to repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad; and all flesh shall see the token, that his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: THIRSTING

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #252 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down: did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
