The Lutheran Hymnary ‎#90

90. Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high

1 Lord, pour Thy Spirit from on high,
And Thine appointed servants bless;
Thy promised power to each supply,
And clothe Thy priests with righteousness.

2 Within Thy temple when they stand,
To teach the truth as taught by Thee,
Savior, like stars in Thy right hand,
Let all Thy Church’s pastors be.

3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
Firmness and meekness from above;
To bear Thy people on their heart,
And love the souls whom Thou dost love;

4 To watch, and pray, and never faint;
By day and night their guard to keep:
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
Protect Thy lambs, and tend Thy sheep.

5 And, when their work is finished here,
Let them in hope their charge resign;
Before the throne with joy appear,
And there with endless glory shine.
