Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

Author: John Cosin Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, And lighten with celestial fire. Thou the anointing Spirit art, Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart. Thy blessèd unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love. Enable with perpetual light The dullness of our blinded sight. Anoint and cheer our soilèd face With the abundance of thy grace. 414 Keep far our foes, give peace at home: Where thou art guide, no ill can come. Teach us to know the Father, Son, And thee of both to be but One, That, through the ages all along, This may be our endless song: Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: Lord, pour thy Spirit from on high, And thine ordainèd servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply, And clothe thy priests with righteousness. Within thy temple when they stand, To teach the truth as taught by thee, Savior, like stars in thy right hand, Let all thy Church's pastors be. 410 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness and meekness from above, To bear thy people in their heart, And love the souls whom thou dost love; To watch, and pray, and never faint, By day and night strict guard to keep, To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, To feed thy lambs, and fold thy sheep. So, when their work is finished here, They may in hope their charge resign; So, when their Master shall appear, They may with crowns of glory shine. Amen. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

And when our labors all are o'er, Then may we meet to part no more, Meet, with the ransomed throng to fall, And crown the Savior Lord of all. Amen. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT

Author: Samuel Wolcott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 416 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With loving zeal; The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne, Sinsick and sorrow-worn, Whom Christ doth heal. 443 Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With fervent prayer; The wayward and the lost, By restless passions tossed, Redeemed at countless cost, From dark despair. Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With one accord; With us the work to share, With us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear, For Christ our Lord. Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring, With joyful song; The newborn souls, whose days, Reclaimed from error's ways, Inspired with hope and praise, To Christ belong. Used With Tune: KIRBE BEDON

Go, labour on! spend and be spent!

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 445 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: Go, labour on! spend and be spent! Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still? Go, labour on! 'tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises: what are men? Go, labour on! enough, while here, If he shall praise thee, if he deign The willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for him shall be in vain. Go, labour on, while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 447 Toil on! faint not! keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!" Used With Tune: ANGEL'S SONG

O Master, let me walk with Thee

Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 590 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics: O Master, let me walk with thee In lowly paths of service free; Tell me thy secret; help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care. 449 Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way. Teach me thy patience; still with thee In closer, dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong, In hope that sends a shining ray Far down the future's broadening way, In peace that only thou canst give, With thee, O Master, let me live. Amen. Used With Tune: MARYTON
