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.
