2 Thou bid'st us go, with thee to stand Against hell's marshalled powers; And heart to heart, and hand to hand, To make thine honor ours. 3 Teach thou our lips of thee to speak, Of thy sweet love to tell; Till they who wander far shall seek And find and serve thee well. 4 O'er all the world thy Spirit send, And make thy goodness known, Till earth and heaven together blend Their praises at thy throne. Ray Palmer. 463 All Hallows. C.M. _Zeal for Souls.--John 4:35._ Oh! still in accents sweet and strong Sounds forth the ancient word,-- "More reapers for white harvest fields, More laborers for the Lord!" 2 We hear the call; in dreams no more In selfish ease we lie, But girded for our Father's work, Go forth beneath his sky. 3 Where prophet's word, and martyr's blood, And prayers of saints were sown, We, to their labors entering in, Would reap where they have strown. S. Longfellow. 464 Welton. L.M. _A Meeting of Ministers._ (1006) Pour out thy Spirit from on high; Lord! thine assembled servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply. And clothe thy priests with righteousness. 2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart, And love the souls whom thou dost love; 3 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. 4 Then, when our work is finished here, In humble hope, our charge resign; When the chief Shepherd shall appear, O God! may they and we be thine. James Montgomery, 1825. 465 Welton. L.M. _An Ordination Service._ (1011) The solemn service now is done. The vow is pledged, the toil begun; Seal thou, O God! the oath above, And ratify the pledge of love. 2 The shepherd of thy people bless; Gird him with thine own holiness; In duty may his pleasure be His glory in his zeal for thee. 3 Here let the ardent prayer arise, Faith fix its grasp beyond the skies. The tear of penitence be shed, And myriads to the Savior led. 4 Come, Spirit! here consent to dwell; The mists of earth and sin dispel; Blest Savior! thine own rights maintain: Supreme in every bosom reign. Samuel F. Smith, 1843. 466 Happy Day. L.M. _Rejoicing in Entire Consecration._ (937) Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice, On thee, my Savior and my God! Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad. Cho.--Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away; He taught me how to watch and pray, And live rejoicing ev'ry day! 2 Oh, happy bond, that seals my vows To him who merits all my love! Let cheerful anthems fill the house, While to his altar now I move. 3 'Tis done--the great transaction's done; I am my Lord's, and he is mine; He drew me, and I followed on, Rejoiced to own the call divine.
