Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Worshipbook #325 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord and precious, Binding all the church in one; Holy Zion's help forever, And her confidence alone. 2 To this temple, where we call you, Come, O Lord of Hosts, today! With your wonted loving-kindness Hear your people as they pray, And your fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 3 Here bestow on all your servants What they ask of you to gain: What they gain from you forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in your glory Evermore with you to reign. 4 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-21 Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Worshipbook #477 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Acts of the Church Ordination Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his name: In pastures fresh he makes me feed, Beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back, When I forsake his ways; And leads me, for his mercy's sake, In paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death Your presence is my stay; One word of your supporting breath Drives all my fears away. Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come; No more a stranger, or a guest, But like a child at home. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: RESIGNATION

Robe of Righteousness

Author: John Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #526 (1888) Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: Jesus, thy Blood and Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy Blood and Righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; 'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Lord, I believe thy precious blood,-- Which, at the mercy-seat of God, For ever doth for sinners plead,-- For me, ev'n for my soul, was shed. 3 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies-- Ev'n then, this shall be all my plea: Jesus hath lived, hath died for me. 4 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 5 Oh, let the dead now hear thy voice: Bid, Lord, thy mourning once rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness. Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH

Father of mercies, bow Thine ear

Hymnal: Hymnal #271 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Offices of the Church Ordination or Institution of Ministers Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, bow Thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer: We plead for those who plead for Thee; Successful pleaders may they be. 2 How great their work, how vast their charge! Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge: Their best acquirements are our gain; We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then, with energy divine Their words, and let those words be Thine; To them,Thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them Thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain -- Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains Thy grace implore, And feel Thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressèd souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, And Sion rear her drooping head.

Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures

Hymnal: Hymnal #272 (1871) Meter: Irregular Topics: Offices of the Church Ordination or Institution of Ministers Lyrics: 1 Come pure hearts, in sweetest measures Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospels shrined; Blessèd tidings of salvation, Peace on earth their proclamation, Love from God to lost mankind. 2 See the Rivers four that gladden, With their streams the better Eden Planted by our Lord most dear; Christ the Fountain, these the waters; Drink, O Sion's sons and daughters, Drink, and find salvation here. 3 O that we, Thy truth confessing, And Thy holy word possessing, Jesu, may Thy love adore; Unto Thee our voices raising, Thee with all Thy ransomed praising, Ever and for evermore.
