Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #452 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Common Praise (1998) Lyrics: 1 Command your blessing from above,
O God, on all assembled here;
behold us with your tender love
while we your holy name revere.
2 Command your blessing, Jesus, Lord;
may we your true disciples be.
Speak to each heart your mighty word;
say to the weakest, "Follow me."
3 Command your blessing in this hour,
Spirit of truth, and fill this place
with humbling and with healing power,
with quickening and confirming grace.
4 You are our maker, saviour, guide,
one true eternal God confessed;
may naught in life or death divide
the saints in your communion blest. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship; Healing Scripture: John 10:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: DICKINSON COLLEGE
