Text Based On Acts Chapter 6
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among
you seven men of honest report, full of the
Holy Ghost and wisdom,

Lord, Pour Thy Spirit From On High

Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high,
And Thine ordainèd servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply,
And clothe Thy men with righteousness.

Within Thy temple when they stand,
To teach Thy truth as taught by Thee,
Savior, like stars in Thy right hand,
Let all Thy church's elders 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 their guard to keep,
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
To feed Thy lambs and tend Thy sheep

So, when their work is finished here,
May they in hope their charge resign:
So, when their Master shall appear,
May they with crown of glory shine.
