Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Verse 1

Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian's side;
Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore'er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, 'Wander not, Fear not,
I am with you, fear not!'

Pilgrims in a desert land;

While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, 'Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.'

Verse 2

Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near to help and tend;
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hope no more,
Whisper softly, 'Wander not, Fear not,
I am with you, fear not!'

Verse 2

Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near to help defend;
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er,
Whisper softly, 'Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.'

Verse 3

When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
Wond'ring if our names are there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus' blood,
Whisper softly, 'Wander not, Fear not,
I am with you, fear not!'
