Give Your Servant Special
Unction

Father, now, direct Your servant
As he stands to preach Your Word.
Give him grace and make him fervent
As he speaks for You, our Lord.
Give to every child his portion.
Call the dead to life, O God.
Give Your servant special unction
To preach life through Jesus’ blood.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Manifest Your grace in us
May we each Your love inherit.
In us Satan’s power crush.
Let us now behold the glory
Of our God in Jesus’ face
As our pastor tells the story
Of redeeming love and grace.
