Thus spake the Saviour, when he sent

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #565 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Ordination and Licensure Lyrics: 1 Thus spake the Saviour, when he sent His ministers to preach his word; They through the world obedient went, And spread the gospel of their Lord. 2 "Go forth, ye heralds, in my name; Bid the whole earth my grace receive; The gospel jubilee proclaim, And call them to repent and live. 3 "The joyful news to all impart, And teach them where salvation lies; Bind up the broken, bleeding heart, And wipe the tear from weeping eyes. 4 "Be wise as serpents where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove; And let your heav'n-taught conduct show, That you're commission'd from above. 5 "Freely from me ye have receiv'd; Freely in love to others give; Thus shall your doctrines be believ'd, And by your labour sinners live." 6 Happy those servants of the Lord, Who thus their Master's will obey How rich, how full is their reward, Reserv'd until the final day!

Father of mercies, in thy house

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #566 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Ordination and Licensure Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in thy house Smile on our homage and our vows; While with a grateful heart we share These pledges of our Saviour's care. 2 The Saviour, when to heaven he rose In splendid triumph o'er his foes, Scatter'd his gifts on men below, And wide his royal bounties flow. 3 Hence sprung th'Apostles' honour'd name, Sacred beyond heroic fame; In lowlier form to bless our eyes, Pastors from hence, and teachers rise. 4 From Christ their varied gifts derive, And fed by Christ their graces live; While guarded by his potent hand, 'Midst all the rage of hell they stand. 5 So shall the bright succession run Through the last courses of the sun; While unborn churches by their care Shall rise and flourish large and fair. 6 Jesus our Lord their hearts shall know, The spring whence all these blessing flow; Pastors and people shout his praise Through the long round of endless days.

Sweet lenitive of grief and care! hen shall we reach those radiant courts, And all their joys and honours share? 5 Yet while these labours we pursue, Tho' distant from thy heav'nly throne, Give us a zeal and love like theirs, And half their heav'n shall here be known.
