Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #96 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal First Line: O pour Thy Spirit from on high! Lyrics: 1 O Pour Thy Spirit from on high!
Lord, Thine appointed servants bless;
Thy promised pow'r to each supply
And clothe Thy priests with righteousness.
2 Faith, wisdom, zeal and strength impart,
Grant patience, meekness from above,
To bear Thy people on their heart
And love the souls whom Thou dost love;
3 To watch, and pray, and never faint;
By day and night their guard to keep;
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
Protect Thy lambs and feed Thy sheep.
4 And when their work is finished here,
Let them in hope their charge resign;
Before the throne with joy appear
And there with endless glory shine.
Amen.
