The Comforter With Us

1Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed With us to dwell.

2He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest.

3And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of ev'n,
That checks the wrong, that calms the fear,
And speaks of heav'n.

4And ev'ry virtue we possess,
And ev'ry vict'ry won,
And ev'ry tho't of holiness Are His alone.

5Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see;
O make our hearts Thy dwellingplace,
Till all like Thee.
