Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#21

21. With Joy We Own Thy Servants, Lord

1. With joy we own Thy servants, Lord,
Thy ministers below,
Ordained to spread Thy truth abroad,
That all Thy name may know

2. O may they now, and ever keep
Their eyes intent on Thee!
Do Thou, Great Shepherd of the sheep,
Their bright example be.

3. With plenteous grace their hearts prepare
To execute Thy will;
And give them patience, love and care,
And faithfulness and skill

4. Inspire their minds with ardent zeal,
Thy flock to feed and teach;
And may they live and may they feel
The truths they're called to preach.

5. As show'rs refresh the thirsty plain,
So let their labors prove:
By them extend Thy righteous reign–
The reign of truth and love.
