Father of mercies bow thine ear,
Benignant to our earnest prayer;
We plead for those ordained to be,
Pastors and Teachers, Lord, by Thee.
Clothe them with energy divine,
may grace in all their actions shine;
More of thy truth to them reveal,
Increase their love, augment their zeal.
Teach them to sow the precious seed;
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed;
Teach them immortal souls to gain,
Not let them labour, Lord, in vain.
May growing numbers flock around,
Welcome the Gospel’s joyful sound;
With holy hearts thy grace adore,
And feel thy new creating power.
May sinners, bursting all their chains,
Weep for their sins, then lose their chains;
And saints through every region spread,
The glory of their King and Head.
