Do thou their anxious souls enlarge; Their best acquirements are our gain, We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe then with Energy divine, Their words, and let their words be thine: To them thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them thy chosen flock to feed Teach them immortal souls to gain— Souls which will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around, Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains thy grace implore, And feel thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressed souls forget their pains; Let light thro' distant realms be spread, And Zion rear her drooping head.
