Pour Out Thy Spirit from on High

Pour out Thy Spir­it from on high;

Lord

Thine as­semb­led serv­ants bless;

Graces and gifts to each sup­ply

And clothe Thy priests with right­eous­ness.

Within Thy tem­ple when they stand

To teach the truth

as taught by Thee

Savior

like stars in Thy right hand

May all Thy Church’s pas­tors be.

Wisdom and zeal and faith impart

Firmness with meek­ness

from above

To bear Thy pe­ople in their heart

And love the souls whom Thou dost love:

To watch and pray and nev­er faint

By day and night

strict guard to keep

To warn the sinner

cheer the saint

Nourish Thy lambs

and feed Thy sheep.

Then

when their work is fin­ished here

May they in hope their charge re­sign;

When the Chief Shep­herd shall ap­pear

O God

may they and we be Thine.
