With joy we own thy servant, Lord,
Thy minister below,
Ordained to spread thy truth abroad,
That all thy name may know.
O may he now, and ever keep
His eye intent on thee:
Do thou, great Shepherd of the sheep,
His bright example be.
With plenteous grace his heart prepare
To execute thy will;
And give him patience, love, and care
And faithfulness and skill.
Inflame his mind with ardent zeal,
Thy flock to feed and teach:
And let him live, and let him feel,
The truths he’s called to preach.
As showers refresh the thirsty plain,
So let his labours prove:
By him extend thy righteous reign—
The reign of truth and love.
