HYMN 378
(FE 399)
1. SPIRIT Divine descend
This sanctuary dwell
And four living elders
Dwelling high above
Desccnd now in thine power
From the holy hill
May the everlasting savour
On our lives bestow
Come worship, come worship In
this sanctuary
May all our endeavours
Unto success lead.
2. Power of authority
Sent from high above
On Solomon endowed
In sanctifying
Eternal sanctuary
Of Jerusalem
Round about the universe
All over the world
Come hark to our prayers
In this sanctuary
As ye hark the prayers of
Father Solomon.
3. Beneficent Father
Harken to our prayers
We Thine children are here
Requesting of Thee
Some in tribulations
Some are un‐employed
Some are desirous of blessings
Some, Thee can not praise
Please hark, please hark Father
Hark to our requests,
May our prayers often
Be confirmed we plead.
4. Unto all the elders
Thine grace, please endow
As Thou endowed upon
Saints of ages past
In Thy name they all strove
Glorious crown they earned
Glorious crown for elders to earn
By Thine Holy Ghost
Parents testifying
Thee, Apostles praise
And all Evangelists
Shepherds, thee to praise.
5. Thine blessings abundant
Be unto thine church
Unto the young and old
And to ministers
Mary and Martha Bands
And Queen Esther Band
Lientenants and all our mothers
And the coming folds
Glory Band and fathers
Soliders of Christ Band
Blessings of Almighty
On choir descend. Amen
