LyicsOUR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed,
With us on earth to dwell.
He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All powerful as the wind he came,
And all as viewless, too.
He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to fix his rest.
Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying see;
O make our hearts thy dwelling-place,
Purer and worthier thee!
