Pour out thy Spirit from on high

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, pour thy Spirit from on high, and thine assembled servants bless; graces and gifts to each supply, and clothe thy priests with righteousness. 2 Within thy temple when they stand, to teach the truth as taught by thee, Saviour, like stars in thy right hand, let all thy church’s pastors be. 3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart, firmness with meekness, from above, to bear thy people in their heart, and love the souls whom thou dost love. 4 To watch and pray and never faint, by day and night their guard to keep, to warn the sinner, cheer the saint, to feed thy lambs and tend thy sheep. 5 So, when their work is finished here, may they in hope their charge resign; when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, O God, may they and we be thine.

The Lord, who truly knows

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1 Lyrics: 1 The Lord, who truly knows The heart of ev'ry saint, Invites us by his holy word, To pray and never faint. 2 He bows his gracious ear; We never please in vain; Yet we must wait till he appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Tho' unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support or friend, Beset the unjust judge's door, And gain'd at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, tho' he may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in pray'r; He loves our importunity, And makes our cause his care.

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 921 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1-8 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid: gem of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion odours of Edom and offerings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favour secure; richer by far is the heart’s adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; gem of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
