450. "A burning and a shining light"

1 O bless thy servant, dearest Lord,
While he shall preach thy gospel word;
May he declare delightful things,
Touching the glorious King of kings.

2 O grant him bright celestial views,
While he proclaims the gospel news;
With fiery zeal his soul inflame,
While he exalts the bleeding Lamb.

3 Give him clear light, and burning love;
Shower down thy blessings from above;
O may we hear the Saviour’s voice,
And in his precious name rejoice.
