Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #284 (1926) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 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.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's blood;
And speak Thy holy Word;
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
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.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Ministry; Church Ministry Scripture: Isaiah 6:5-8 Languages: English Tune Title: PURLEIGH
Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
