O God! may they and we be thine.

James Montgomery, 1825.

465 Welton. L.M.

(1011) An Ordination Service.

The solemn service now is done.

The vow is pledged, the toil begun;

Seal thou, O God! the oath above,

And ratify the pledge of love.

2 The shepherd of thy people bless;

Gird him with thine own holiness;
