Classic Poem

1. O Risen Lord upon the throne, For ever mindful of thine own,
2. Regard thy flock with loving eyes, And weave thy life through these new ties;
Now seal with thy right hand of power The covenants of this holy hour.
Our faith renew, our hearts reclaim; Recall thy wayward sheep by name.

3. O lead us, Saviour; only thou
Canst be the shepherd's Shepherd now;
Reveal the path of life, and we
Will follow where he walks with thee.

4. By thee alone our toils are blest;
Thine arms enfold thy flock at rest;
When day begins, till labors cease,
Refresh us from thy wells of peace.
