1 Lord of the harvest, meet this hour,
The servants of Thy holy Word;
Renew us with Thy Spirit's pow'r,
While here we wait in one accord.
2 Through all the conflicts of the year,
Mid all the storms and ills we bore,
Thy gracious help was ever near,
But still we need Thee more and more.
3 Preside Thou o'er our meeting here;
Give light and wisdom from above;
Direct us, keep us, in Thy fear,
And bind us close with cords of love.
4 O make us holy men of God,
And faithful messengers of grace,
That we may lead to Jesus' blood
The lost and ruined of our race.
