Lyics

Our bless 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 on humble heart
Where-in 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.
