LyicsOur blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All powerful as the wind he came,
As viewless too.
He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
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.
