Prayer for a Minister. 2 Thess. 3. 1, 2; Heb. 13. 8

1 With heavenly power, O Lord, defend
  Him whom we now to thee commend;
  His person bless, his soul secure;
  And make him to the end endure.

2 Gird him with all-sufficient grace;
  Direct his feet in paths of peace;
  Thy truth and faithfulness fulfil,
  And help him to obey thy will.

3 Before him thy protection send;
  O love him, save him to the end!
  Nor let him as thy pilgrim rove
  Without the convoy of thy love.

4 Enlarge, inflame, and fill his heart;
  In him thy mighty power exert;
  That thousands, yet unborn, may praise
  The wonders of redeeming grace.
