Son of God, our glorious Head!

On us now thy blessing shed;

From thy throne let mercy flow

To thy waiting flock below.

2 Taught by thee, with prayer sincere,

We have called thy servants here,

For thy needy ones to care,

And thy holy feast to bear.

3 May the Spirit from above

Fill their hearts with faith and love;

Make them humble, zealous, wise,

Strife to shun, and good devise.

4 When their earthly work is done,

When the crown of life is won,

May they, with thy favor blest,

Pass from labor into rest.
