Uphold Your Servant, Blessed Lord – Don Fortner

(Tune: The Doxology -- LM )

1. Uphold Your servant, blessed Lord.

Enable him to preach Your Word,

Proclaiming here most heav’nly things,

Concerning Christ, the King of kings.

2. O give him clear, celestial views

Of Christ and the blest gospel news,

O flood his heart! His soul inflame,

As he now points us to the Lamb!

3. Fill him with mercy, grace and love,

Passion and power from above. –

Speak through him, Lord, and we’ll rejoice

In hearing our dear Savior’s voice!

4. O clothe Your Word with sov’reign power,

And this shall be a blessed hour!

Awake the dead! Revive our souls!

And make each wounded spirit whole!
