Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high
Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high,
And Thine ordainèd servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply,
And clothe Thy priests with righteousness.
2 Within Thy temple when they stand,
To teach the truth as taught by Thee,
Saviour, like stars in Thy right hand,
Let all Thy Church's pastors be.
3 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;
4 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.
5 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: [Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high]

O Spirit of the living God
Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 376 hymnals Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light,
Confusion, order, in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might,
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 Convert the nations! far and nigh,
The triumphs of the cross record;
The Name of Jesus glorify,
Till every people call Him Lord.
Amen. Used With Tune: [O Spirit of the living God]

Lord of the living harvest
Author: J. S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: The Clergy 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.

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
Author: E. Osler Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way,
And speak Thy holy word;
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's blood;
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower;
To them a messenger of power,
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone;
Then hear the welcome word,"Well done!"
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise, and bliss, and love.
Amen.

Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord
Author: Thos. Edw. Powell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Clergy 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. Used With Tune: [Bow down Thine ear, almighty Lord]

Soldiers of the cross, arise!
Author: Bp. W. W. How Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise!
Gird you with your armor bright!
Mighty are your enemies,
Hard the battle ye must fight.
2 O'er a faithless fallen world,
Raise your banner in the sky!
Let it float there wide unfurled!
Bear it onward! lift it high!
3 'Mid the homes of want and woe,
Strangers to a living Word,
Let the Saviour's herald go!
Let the voice of hope be heard!
4 Where the shadows deepest lie,
Carry truth's unsullied ray!
Where are crimes of blackest dye,
There the saving sight display!
5 To the weary and the worn
Tell of realms where sorrows cease!
To the outcast and forlorn
Speak of mercy and of peace!
6 Guard the helpless! seek the strayed!
Comfort troubles1 banish grief!
In the might of God arrayed,
Scatter sin and unbelief!
7 Be the banner still unfurled,
Still unsheathed the Spirit's sword,
Till the kingdoms of the world
Are the kingdom of the Lord!
Amen. Used With Tune: [Soldiers of the cross, arise]
Soldiers of the cross, arise!

Thou Who the night in pray'r didst spend
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Clergy Lyrics: 1 Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend,
And then Thy twelve apostles send;
And bidd'st us pray the harvest's Lord
To send forth sowers of Thy word,
Hear, and Thy chosen servants bless
With seven-fold gifts of holiness.
2 Oh, may Thy pastors faithful be,
Not laboring for themselves, but Thee;
Give grace to feed with wholesome food
The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood;
To tend Thy flock, and thus to prove
How dearly they the Shepherd love!
3 Oh, may Thy people faithful be,
And in Thy pastors honor Thee,
And with them work, and for them pray,
And gladly Thee in them obey;
Receive the prophet of the Lord,
And gain the prophet's own reward!
4 So may we, when our work is done,
Together stand before the throne;
And joyful hearts and voices raise
In one united song of praise,
With all the bright celestial host,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
