The Church Praying for Themselves and their Minister

1 Lord, direct thy own-sent servant;
  Teach him how and what to speak;
  Make him humble, wise and fervent,
  Skilled the bread of life to break;
  Let each child enjoy a portion,
  Feel their souls alive to God;
  Freed from pride and empty notion,
  Eat thy flesh and drink thy blood.

2 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
  Dwell thou sensibly in us;
  And may we thy love inherit,
  Freed from guilt, law, and the curse.
  Sweetly view and feel thy glory,
  Open all our hearts to thee;
  Sing and tell the pleasing story,
  Matchless grace has set us free.
