O God of all creation, whose glory fills the sky. We gather in your presence, our spirits lifted high, To bring for humble service, those who answer to your call, That they may follow Christ, the example for us all, Protect them and guide them, their faith in you be strong, As now they journey onward, we sing the ancient song: 4. “You are a priest for ever,” within God’s church on earth, “In the order of Melchisedek,” a priest before your birth, Called out to be our pastor, the flock of Christ to serve; From the humble to the haughty, the Word of God make heard, To celebrate the sacraments, in fitting praise proclaim, In love of Holy Trinity, give honor to God’s name. 5. The flow’r of earthly splendor in them must surely die, Its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; But hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown Though small in mortal stature, to heaven’s garden grown: For Christ the man from heaven from death has set us free. And we through him are given the final victory.
