Pour Out Thy Spirit from On High

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Pour out Thy Spirit from on high, Lord, Thine assembled servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply And clothe Thy priests with righteousness. 2 Before Thine altar when we stand To teach the truth, as taught by Thee, Savior, like stars in Thy right hand The angels of Thy churches be. 3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart, Firmness with meekness, from above, To bear Thy people on our 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, Nourish Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 5 Then, when their work is finished here, We may in hope our charge resign. When the Chief Shepherd shall appear, O God, may they and we be Thine. Amen. Topics: The Church Ministry Scripture: Psalm 132:9 Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S

Mine hour of sorrow shorten, Support my fainting heart, From ev'ry cross deliver, The crown of life impart. 3 When darkness round me gathers, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling Like stars in blackest night. O heart, this image cherish: The Christ on Calvary, How patiently He suffered And shed His blood for me! 4 Lord, hide my soul securely Deep in Thy wounded side; From every danger shield me And to Thy glory guide. He has been truly blessèd Who reaches heaven above; He has found perfect healing Who rests upon Thy love. 5 Lord, write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the Book of Life, And with all true believers Take me where joys are rife. There let me bloom and flourish, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love. Amen.
