Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray

Author: G. Thring; C. G. Woodhouse Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Ordinations 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. Used With Tune: PASTOR

The Royal Servant

Author: D. S. Warner Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Ordinances First Line: Come within that upper chamber Lyrics: 1 Come within that upper chamber, See the King of love and peace, Rising from the paschal supper, Lo, he takes a servant’s place. Now he lays aside his mantle, And to show his love complete, Humbly bowing there before them, Washes his disciples’ feet. 2 Will we keep our Lord’s example And his pure command obey? Must we not be meek and humble, Follow in his holy way? If we call him Lord and Master, And profess to love him here, We must his commandments honor If we’d prove our love sincere. 3 Jesus says, “Ye shall be happy If these things ye know and do,” But if ye are found rebelling, He will turn away from you. Lord, we love thee as our leader, And we know thy law is good, So in meekness we obey thee, As thy word declares we should. Used With Tune: ORDINANCES

Come, Spirit blest, Creator, come

Author: Rabanus Maurus, c. 776-856; Anon. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Ordination Lyrics: 1 Come, Spirit blest, Creator, come from our bright heavenly throne, come, take possession of our souls and make them all your own. 2 For you are called the Paraclete, best gift of God above, the living spring, the living fire, sweet ointment and true love. 3 And you are seven-fold in your grace, finger of God's right hand, his promise rightly teaching us to speak and understand. 4 Guide our dark minds with your blest light, with love our hearts inflame, and with your strength which never fails, confirm our mortal frame. 5 Far from us drive our deadly foe; true peace unto us bring; and through all perils lead us safe beneath your sacred wing. 6 Through you may we the Father know, through you the eternal Son, and you the Spirit of them both, Thrice-blessèd Three in One. 7 All glory to the Father be, with his co-equal Son: glory to you, great Paraclete, while endless ages run.
