Lord, Pour Thy Spirit from on High

O pour Thy Spirit from on high!

Lord, Thine appointed servants bless;

Thy promised power to each supply

And clothe Thy priests with righteousness.

Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,

Firmness with meekness from above;

To bear Thy people on their heart,

And love the souls whom Thou dost love:

To watch, and pray, and never faint;

By day and night their guard to keep;

To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,

Protect Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep.

And when their work is finished here,

Let them in hope their charge resign,

Before the throne with joy appear,

And there with endless glory shine.
