1. O shine upon these, Lord,
the men ordained today,
that through the written Word,
Christ Jesus they display.
And from their hearts which burn
with gazing on your face,
that we, your people, learn
the wonders of your grace.
2. O breathe upon them, Lord,
your Spirit’s living flame,
so that with one accord
their lips may tell your name.
Give them the hearing ear,
direct their ev’ry thought,
that those they serve may hear
the great things you have wrought.
3. O live within them, Lord,
your mind and will be theirs.
You, the Belov’d, adored,
and served with all their pow’rs,
so that your lambs may know
the one true Shepherd’s voice.
Where Christ leads, may they go,
and in your call rejoice.

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
