Lord of the living harvest

Author: Rev. J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: HRGC1892 #285 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard Still faithful may they be, Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill their souls with light; Clothe them in spotless raiment, In vesture clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple Be with them where they stand, To guide and teach Thy people Throughout our native land. 4 Be with them, God the Father! Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them a holy priesthood, Thee humbly to adore, And fill them with Thy fullness, Both now and evermore! Amen.

Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord

Author: Thos. Edw. Powell Hymnal: HRGC1892 #286 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Topics: The Clergy Languages: English Tune Title: [Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord]

Father of mercies, bow Thine ear

Author: Benj. Beddome Hymnal: HRGC1892 #287 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.

O Spirit of the living God

Author: J.

Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray

Author: C. G. Woodhouse; Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HRGC1892 #290 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray, For Thy servant here to-day: By the cross upon his brow, By his ordination vow, By the prayers which we have prayed For the Holy Spirit's aid, By the deep and fervent love Owing to his Lord above, Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray, For Thy servant here to-day: Grant him faithful watch to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 2 From the silent power of sin Lurking secretly within, May the grace that flows from Thee, Heavenly Shepherd, set him free; By the blessing on him breathed, By the charge on him bequeathed, Thou the Way, the Truth, the Life, Gird him for the sacred strife, Aye his faithful watch to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 3 Speed him on his life-long way, Speed him whom we speed to-day; Thou, the gracious, loving Lord, Give him souls for his reward: Till he win the promised crown, When he lays his burden down Humbly at his Saviour's feet, Low before the mercy-seat: Give him, Lord, Thy grace to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 4 To the blessèd Trinity Now let praise and glory be, In Whose Name we meet to-day For our guidance, as we pray That we may, in all we do, Pastor, and his flock, be true; True to man in heavenly love, True to Thee, our God, above, Till we, sheep and shepherd, meet, Ransomed at Thy judgment seat. Amen. Topics: Institution of Ministers Languages: English Tune Title: [Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray]

O Lord of hosts, Whose glory fills

Author: Rev. J. M. Neale Hymnal: HRGC1892 #291 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, Whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all belong; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The minds that guide, endue with skill; The hands that work, preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the top-stone in its day. 6 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever blessèd Trinity!

In the name which earth and heaven

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Hymnal: HRGC1892 #292 (1894) Meter: 8.7 D Lyrics: 1 In the name which earth and heaven, Ever worship, praise, and fear, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Shall a house be builded here: Here with prayer its deep foundations, In the faith of Christ, we lay, Trusting by His help to crown it, With the top-stone in its day. 2 Here as in their due succession Stone on stone the workmen place, Thus, we pray, unseen but surely, Jesu, build us up in grace; Till, within these walls completed, We complete in Thee are found; And to Thee, the one Foundation, Strong and living stones, are bound. 3 Fair shall be Thine earthly temple: Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty, Of the holier House on high; Weary hearts and troubled spirits Here shall find a still retreat; Sinful souls shall bring their burden Here to the Absolver's feet. 4 Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn, Where Thy Bride, Thy Church redeemèd, Robes her for her marriage morn; Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace, Spouse of Christ, arrayed and waiting Till she may behold His face. 5 Here in due and solemn order May her ceaseless prayer arise; Here may strains of holy gladness Lift her heart above the skies; Here the word of life be spoken; Here the child of God be sealed; Here the Bread of Heaven be broken, "Till He come," Himself revealed. 6 Praise to Thee, O Master-Builder, Maker of the earth and skies; Praise to Thee, in Whom Thy temple Fitly framed, together lies; Praise to Thee, eternal Spirit, Binding all that lives in one: Till our earthly praise be ended, And the eternal song begun! Amen. Topics: Laying of a Corner-Stone Languages: English Tune Title: [In the name which earth and heaven]
