Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray

Author: G. Thring; C. G. Woodhouse Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray, For Thy servant here to-day: By the cross upon his brow, By his ordination vow, By the prayers which we have prayed For the Holy Spirit's aid, By the deep and fervent love Owing to his Lord above, Heavenly Shepherd, Thee we pray, For Thy servant here to-day: Grant him faithful watch to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 2 From the silent power of sin Lurking secretly within, May the grace that flows from Thee, Heavenly Shepherd, set him free; By the blessing on him breathed, By the charge on him bequeathed, Thou the Way, the Truth, the Life, Gird him for the sacred strife, Aye his faithful watch to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 3 Speed him on his life-long way, Speed him whom we speed to-day; Thou, the gracious, loving Lord, Give him souls for his reward: Till he win the promised crown, When he lays his burden down Humbly at his Saviour's feet, Low before the mercy-seat: Give him, Lord, Thy grace to keep, Tend Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 4 To the blessèd Trinity Now let praise and glory be, In Whose Name we meet to-day For our guidance, as we pray That we may, in all we do, Pastor, and his flock, be true; True to man in heavenly love, True to Thee, our God, above, Till we, sheep and shepherd, meet, Ransomed at Thy judgment seat. Amen. Topics: Institution of Ministers; Ordinations Used With Tune: PASTOR

To Thee, O Father throned on high

Author: W. C. Doane Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Father throned on high, Our marriage hymn we duly sing; Knit Thou the sacred bond we tie, And do Thou bless the wedding ring. Thy love, at first in Paradise, It was that made of one flesh twain; Work Thou, while here our prayers arise, That sacred mystery again. 2 To Thee, O Jesus, throned beside Thy Father's right hand, here we cry; True Bridegroom of Thy spotless Bride, With all Thy human love, draw nigh. Our human nature, Thy divine Has wedded, and in Thee, dear Lord, As Cana's water turned to wine, Its lost godlikeness is restored. 3 O Holy Ghost the Paraclete, Thee too we worship, God and Lord, And honor Thee, with praises meet, One with the Father and the Word. Lord and Life-giver, hear our prayer, Come, sanctify, and bless, and guide, Strengthen, and shelter 'neath Thy care, The life of bridegroom and of bride. 4 O God Triune, Whom heaven's host Adores, with sweet and ceaseless song; O Father, Son and Holy Ghost, To Whom all worship doth belong; Hear, in these echoes faint and dim Of chant and prayer and holy psalm, Their songs, the heavenly feast who hymn, The marriage supper of the Lamb.
