Awake, Thou Spirit, Who Didst Fire
Author: Karl Heinrich von Bogatzky Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire
The watchmen of the Church’s youth,
Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire,
Who day and night declared Thy truth,
Whose voices loud are ringing still,
And bringing hosts to know Thy will.
2 Lord, let our earnest prayer be heard,
The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray;
For, lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred
In ev'ry land in this our day
To cry with fervent soul to Thee,
O help us, Lord, so let it be.
3 O haste to help, ere we are lost!
Send preachers forth, in spirit strong,
Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host,
Bold to attack the rule of wrong;
Let them the earth for Thee reclaim,
Thy heritage, to know Thy Name.
4 And let Thy Word have speedy course,
Through every land be glorified,
Till all the heathen know its force,
And fill Thy churches far and wide;
Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord,
And spread the conquests of Thy Word!
Amen.

Thou Who the Night in Prayer Didst Spend
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:38, 10:1-7 Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend,
And then the twelve to preach didst send;
And bidst us pray the harvest's Lord
To send forth sowers of Thy Word,
Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless
With sev'nfold gifts of holiness.
2 O may Thy pastors faithful be,
Not lab'ring 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 O 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 Thy 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.

How Shall They Hear?
Author: Michael Perry Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:38 First Line: How shall they hear the word of God Lyrics: 1 How shall they hear the word of God
unless the truth is told?
How shall the sinful be set free,
the sorrowful consoled?
To all who speak the truth today,
impart your Spirit, Lord, we pray.
2 How shall they call to God for help
unless they have believed?
How shall the poor be given hope,
the prisoner reprieved?
To those who help the blind to see,
give light and love and clarity.
3 How shall the gospel be proclaimed
that sinners may repent?
How shall the world find peace at last
if heralds are not sent?
So send us, Lord, for we rejoice
to speak of Christ with life and voice.

The earth, O Lord, is one wide field
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37 Lyrics: 1 The earth, O Lord, is one wide field
of all thy chosen seed;
the crop prepared its fruit to yield;
the labourers are few indeed.
2 We therefore come before thee now
with fasting, and with prayer,
beseeching of thy love that thou
wouldst send more labourers there.
3 Not for our land alone we pray,
though that above the rest;
the realms and islands far away,
O let them all be blest.
4 Endue the bishops of thy flock
with wisdom and with grace,
against false doctrine, like a rock,
to set the heart and face.
5 To all thy priests thy truth reveal,
and make thy judgments clear;
make thou thy deacons full of zeal,
and humble, and sincere:
6 and give their flocks a lowly mind
to hear and to obey;
that each and all may mercy find
at thine appearing-day. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Ember Days Used With Tune: MANCHESTER NEW
