     1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

     11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.(KJV)

1. Pour out Thy Spirit from on high, 
Lord, Thine assembled servants bless; 
Graces and gifts to each supply 
And clothe Thy priests with righteousness. 

2. Before Thine altar when we stand 
To teach the truth as taught by Thee, 
Savior, like stars in Thy right hand 
The angels of Thy churches be. 

3. Wisdom and zeal and faith impart, 
Firmness with meekness, from above, 
To bear Thy people on our heart 
And love the souls whom Thou dost love; 

4. To watch and pray and never faint 
By day and night strict guard to keep, 
To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, 
Nourish Thy lambs, and feed Thy sheep. 

5. Then, when our work is finished here, 
We may in hope our charge resign. 
When the Chief Shepherd shall appear, 
O God, may they and we be Thine!
