Texts

O God, in whom the happy dead

The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray

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.
