O Son of God, our Captain of salvation

Author: Rev. John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Installations Pastor Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, our Captain of salvation, Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief, We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation, Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief; 2 Those whom Thy Spirit's dread vocation severs To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host; Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavors To bear Thy saving Name from coast to coast; 3 And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skillful, Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth, Counsel the doubting, and restrain the willful, Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth. 4 Thus, Lord, Thy blessed saints in memory keeping, Still be Thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye," Till in our Father's house shall end all weeping, And every want be satisfied in Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: DONNE SECOURS

Father, Be Thy Blessing Shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Ordination and Installation Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Savior, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth thro' him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandates keep: Feed My lambs and Feed My sheep. May he, to Thy people sent, Bring Thy Word and Sacrament; And when he proclaims Thy Word, May the people hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toil, Wisely may he till the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight; May he zeal with prudence blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him, in his charge, to find List'ning ear and eager mind, Helpful counsels, love and peace, Earnest life and glad increase; May his people, wisely led, Grow with him in Christ their Head; And at last together be Ripe for heav'n to dwell with Thee! Amen. Used With Tune: VIOLA

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Ordination/Installation Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call to live according to your word and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear; if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We marvel how your saints became in hindrances more sure: whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you: the cross you hung upon, all you endeavored, done. Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: REPTON

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Ordination and/or Installation Lyrics: 1 Your word sheds light upon my path; a shining light, it guides my feet. Your righteous judgments to observe, my solemn vow I now repeat. 2 In my distress I plead with you; send help according to your word. Accept my sacrifice of praise and make me know your judgments, LORD. 3 When danger brings me close to death, your law stays with me night and day. The wicked lay a snare for me, yet from your truth I will not stray. 4 Your precepts are my heritage, they make my heart and soul rejoice. To keep your statutes faithfully shall ever be my willing choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:105-112 Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
