Go, labour on; spend, and be spent
Holy Spirit, Truth divine
Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal #373 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
Holy Spirit, Truth divine,
Dawn upon this soul of mine;
Breath of God and inward light,
Wake my spirit, clear my sight.
Holy Spirit, Love divine,
Glow within this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire;
Perish self in thy pure fire!
Holy Spirit, Power divine,
Fill and nerve this will of mine;
By thee may I strongly live,
Bravely bear, and nobly strive.
340
Holy Spirit, Right divine,
King within my conscience reign;
Be my law, and I shall be
Firmly bound, for ever free.
Holy Spirit, Peace divine,
Still this restless heart of mine;
Speak to calm this tossing sea,
Stayed in thy tranquillity.
Holy Spirit, Joy divine,
Gladden thou this heart of mine;
In the desert ways I sing,
"Spring, O Well, for ever spring."
Amen.

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Author: Denis Wortman Hymnal: The Hymnal #451 (1916) Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons:
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once:
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last!
Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent
To thy divinest speech; their hearts awake
To human need; their lips make eloquent
To assure the right, and every evil break.
Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray,
Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice!
411
Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord!
Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son:
Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword;
Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won.
Make them apostles! Heralds of thy cross,
Forth may they go to tell all realms thy grace:
Inspired of thee, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before thy face.
O mighty age of prophet-kings, return!
O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time!
Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn:
A weary world awaits thy reign sublime!
Amen.

Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim
Author: Bourne H. Draper Hymnal: The Hymnal #453a (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim
Salvation in Emmanuel's Name:
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the Rose of Sharon there.
God shield you with a wall of fire,
With holy zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And calm the savage breast to peace.
And when our labors all are o'er,
Then may we meet to part no more,
Meet, with the ransomed throng to fall,
And crown the Savior Lord of all.
Amen.

Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim
O Thou Who makest souls to shine
Author: John Armstrong Hymnal: The Hymnal #454 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
O Thou who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
And droppest glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Savior's love;
Do thou thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That so thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
413
Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer:
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
Give those that learn the willing ear,
The spirit meek, the guileless mind;
Such gifts will make the lowliest here
Far better than a kingdom find.
O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one,
One in the faithful watch they keep
Until this hurrying life be done.
If thus, good Lord, thy grace be given,
Our glory meets us ere we die;
Before we upward pass to heaven
We taste our immortality.
Amen.

O Thou Who makest souls to shine
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Author: John Cosin Hymnal: The Hymnal #455a (1916) Meter: 8.8 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire.
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.
Thy blessèd unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.
Anoint and cheer our soilèd face
With the abundance of thy grace.
414
Keep far our foes, give peace at home:
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee of both to be but One,
That, through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song:
Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Ye servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Hymnal #456 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in your office, wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight,
For awful is his Name.
Watch! 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
O happy servant he
In such a posture found;
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crowned.

O Spirit of the living God
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #475 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
O Spirit of the living God,
In all thy plenitude of grace,
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
Confusion, order, in thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might,
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
Convert the nations! far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The Name of Jesus glorify
Till every people call him Lord.
Amen.
