-Hymn The co11gregatio11 sings sta11zas I a11d 3. The graduates sing stanza 2.

I. Send, 0 Lord, your Holy Spirit On your servants now, we pray; Let them all be faithful shepherds That no Iamb is led astray.

Your pure teaching to proclaim, To adore your holy name, And to feed your Iambs, dear Savior, Make their aim and sole endeavor.

2. You, 0 Lord, yourself have called them For your precious Iambs to care; But to prosper in their calling, They the Spirit's gifts must share. .

Grant them wisdom from above; Fill their hearts with holy love.

In their weakness, Lord, be near them; In their P.rayers, Good Shepherd, hear them.

3. Help. Lord Jesus, help them nourish Our dear children with your Word, That in constant love they serve you Till in heav' n their song is heard.

Boundless blessings, Lord, bestow On your servants' work below Till by grace to them is given Their reward, the crown of heaven.
