[Jesus our Desire and Hope]

Judas and Silas, being prophets also, &c. —xv. 32.

Jesus our Desire and Hope,
All Thy church's wants supply,
Raise Thy preaching servants up,
Send them forth to prophesy,
Fill their mouths with words of grace,
Fill their lives with righteousness.
Taught to teach Thy people here
By the unction from above,
Blessings let them minister,
Build us up in faith and love,
Execute Thy saving plan,
Bring us to a perfect man.
