The Holy Spirit the Comforter.
Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All powerful as the wind he came,
As viewless too.
3 He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
4 And his that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breeze of even,
That checks each fault, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.
