The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#137

137. Pour out thy Spirit from on high

1 Pour out thy Spirit from on high;
Lord, thine assembled servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply,
And clothe us all 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!
