O Spirit of the living God

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #284 (1920) Topics: The Church Ordinations Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above, Whene'er the joyful sound is heart. 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming light; Confusion, order, in Thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might, Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 Convert the nations! far and nigh The triumphs of the Cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify, Till every people call Him Lord.

Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim

Author: B. H. Draper Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #285 (1920) Topics: The Church Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim Salvation in Emmanuel's name: To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the Rose of Sharon there. 2 God shield you with a wall of fire, With holy zeal your hearts inspire, Bid raging winds their fury cease, And calm the savage breast to peace. 3 And when our labours all are o'er, Then may we meet to part no more, Meet, with the ransomed throng to fall, And crown the Saviour Lord of all.

Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord

Author: T. E. Powell Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #286 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord, And hear Thy Church's suppliant cry, For all who preach Thy saving word, And wait upon Thy ministry. 2 In mercy, Father, now give heed, And pour Thy quickening Spirit's breath On those whom Thou dost call to feed Thy flock redeemed by Jesus' death. 3 O Saviour, from Thy piercèd hand Shed o'er them all Thy gifts divine; That those who in Thy presence stand May do Thy will with love like Thine. 4 Blest Spirit, in their hearts abide, And give them grace to watch and pray; That as they seek Thy flock to guide, Themselves may keep the narrow way. 5 O God, Thy strength and mercy send To shield them in their strife with sin; Grant them, enduring to the end, The crown of life at last to win. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELY

Father of mercies, bow Thine ear

Author: B. Beddome Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #287 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, bow Thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer: We plead for those who plead for Thee; Successful pleaders may they be! 2 How great their work, how vast their charge! Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge: Their best acquirements are our gain; We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then with energy divine Their words, and let their words be Thine; To them Thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed; Teach them Thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain, Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains Thy grace implore, And feel Thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressèd souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, And Sion rear her drooping head.
