Lyics

Son of God, our glorious Head!

On us now thy blessing shed;

From thy throne let mercy flow

To thy waiting flock below.



Taught by thee, with prayer sincere,

We have called thy servants here,

For thy needy ones to care,

And thy holy feast to bear.



May the Spirit from above

Fill their hearts with faith and love;

Make them humble, zealous, wise,

Strife to shun, and good devise.



When their earthly work is done,

When the crown of life is won,

May they, with thy favor blest,

Pass from labor into rest.
