Lord, we adore thy sacred name,
And sing the wonders of thy grace;
From thee our timely succor came,
When overwhelmed in deep distress.
Accompanied with fervent prayer,
We sought a pastor of thy choice,
One who should heavenly tidings bear,
And cause thy people to rejoice.
To our request, thine ear inclined,
And thou the blessing dost bestow,
Oh may we now in heart be joined,
And walk in peace and love below.
Long may thy servant feed thy sheep,
And lead them to the pastures fair;
His watchful eyes, ne’er let them sleep,
When dangers or when foes are near.
With sacred influence from above,
Oh may his soul be richly fraught,
And we will praise thy grace and love,
Nor shall this season be forgot.
