Send, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit

Send

O Lord

Thy Ho­ly Spir­it

On Thy serv­ant now we pray;

Let him prove a faith­ful shep­herd

To Thy lit­tle lambs al­way;

Thy pure teach­ing to pro­claim

To ex­tol Thy ho­ly name

And to feed Thy lambs

dear Sav­ior

Make his aim and sole en­dea­vor.

Thou

O Lord

Thy­self hast called him

For Thy pre­cious lambs to care;

But to pros­per in his call­ing

He the Spir­it’s gifts must share.

Grant him wis­dom from above

Fill his heart with ho­ly love;

In all weak­ness be Thou near him

In his pray­ers

Good Shep­herd

hear him.

Help

Lord Je­sus

help him nour­ish

Our dear child­ren with Thy Word

That in con­stant love they serve Thee

Till in Heav’n their song is heard.

Boundless bless­ings

Lord

be­stow

On his faith­ful toil be­low

Till by grace to him is giv­en

His re­ward

the crown of Heav­en.
