At a choice of deacons

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow Lyrics: 1 Fair Sion's King, we suppliant bow, And hail the grace thy church enjoys; Her holiest deacons are thy own, With all the gifts thy love employs. 2 Up to thy throne, we lift our eyes For blessings to attend our choice, Of such whose generous, prudent zeal Shall make thy favor'd ways rejoice. 3 Happy in Jesus their own Lord, May this his sacred table spread, The table of their pastor fill, And fill the holy poor with bread! 4 [When pastor, saints, and poor they serve, May their own hearts with grace be crown'd! While patience, sympathy, and joy Adorn, and thro' their lives abound.] 5 By purest love to Christ, and truth, O may they win a good degree Of boldness in the christian faith, And meet the smile of thine and thee! 6 And when the work to them assign'd— The work of love is fully done, Call them from serving tables here, To sit around thy glorious throne.
