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 watch to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Protect Thy lambs, and feed 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.
