Our God and our Father,
we come to Thee now
In the name of our Saviour,
most humbly to bow,
For Thy servants who've
gone forth, to serve far away,
And pray for their safety
and blessing today.
With deep supplication,
in the Spirit we ask
For Thy guidance and blessing,
on their every task,
That with boldness of utterance,
Thy Word may resound
And the gospel go forth,
with a glad joyful sound.
Help them to be fruitful
in service and life,
And keep them abiding
and free from all strife,
That they may be blameless
and harmless each day
And hold forth the Word of life,
brightly alway.
Let them fight a good fight,
and run a straight course,
Keep true to the Faith
and proclaim it with force,
Let the Word of Christ
richly in them always dwell,
And give them Thy peace,
as the umpire as well.
As we strive thus together,
in prayer now for them,
We ask Thee to keep them
from ungodly men.
Let their service be always
accepted by saints,
And Thy Word have free course,
without let or restraints
