Lord of the Church, we humbly pray

Edward Osler • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 6:5-8

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Amen.
