713. 7s. M. E. Peabody. Ordination or Installation. 1 Lift aloud the voice of praise! God, our Father and our Friend, Hear the prayer and song we raise, Weak, yet trusting, we would bend. 2 Lo! another servant brought To the heritage of God; -- May he teach as Christ hath taught, Tread the path his Saviour trod. 3 To the vineyard may he come Girded with celestial might; Skilled to draw thy children home, Taught to give the darkened light. 4 Unto thee, a people bend, -- Bind us heart to heart in love; Flock and pastor, we would tend Ever toward our home above.
