Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #510 (1994) Hymnal Title: Catholic Book of Worship III Lyrics: 1 God the Spirit, guide and guardian,
Wind-sped flame and hov'ring dove,
Breath of life and voice of prophets,
Sign of blessing, pow'r of love:
Give to those who lead your people
Fresh anointing of your grace;
Send them forth as bold apostles
To your Church in ev'ry place.
2 Christ our savior, sovereign shepherd,
Word made flesh, love crucified,
Teacher, healer, suff'ring servant,
Friend of sinners, foe of pride:
In your tending may all pastors
Learn and live a shepherd's care;
Grant them courage and compassion
Shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great creator, life-bestower,
Truth beyond all thought's recall,
Fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
Giving and forgiving all:
As you know our strength and weakness,
So may those the Church selects
Be alert to her well-being
Yet not blind to her defects.
4 Triune God, mysterious being,
Undivided and diverse,
Deeper than our minds can fathom,
Greater than our creeds rehearse:
Help us in our varied callings
Your full image to proclaim,
That our ministries uniting
May give glory to your name. Topics: Discipleship; Guide; Holy Spirit; Sacraments/Rites Ordination; Truth; Wisdom; Womb; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY
