4 Lead us to heaven that we may share
Fulness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with Him for ever blest.

Simon Browne (alt.).

188 The Comforter, the Holy Ghost.

He shall teach you.-JOHN xiv. 26.

SPIRIT of Truth, indwelling Light,

For ever in our souls abide; Open our eyes to see aright,

Into all truth our footsteps guide.

2 Spirit of Comfort and of Love,
Come to our hearts with soothing spell;
Our troubled thoughts, our fears remove,
With us for ever deign to dwell.

3 Sent from the Father by the Son,

Come forth, our Guide to Them to be, For Thou, we know, with Them art One, And we have Them in having Thee.

4 Peace that the world has not to give
Is theirs, who do the Saviour's will;
Help Thou us more to Him to live,
And with His peace our spirits fill.
J. E. Bode.

COME

The Spirit helpeth our infirmities.-ROM. viii. 26.

to our poor nature's night, With Thy blessed inward light,

Holy Ghost, the Infinite,

Comforter Divine.

2 We are sinful-cleanse us, Lord;
Sick and faint-Thy strength afford;
Lost, until by Thee restored,
Comforter Divine.

3 Orphan are our souls, and poor;
Give us from Thy heavenly store
Faith, love, joy for evermore,
Comforter Divine.

4 Like the dew Thy peace distil:
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine.

5 Gentle, awful, holy Guest,

Make Thy temple in each breast;
There Thy presence be confessed,
Comforter Divine.

6 With us, for us, intercede,
And with voiceless groaning plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter Divine.

7 In us Abba, Father,' cry,
Earnest of the bliss on high,
Seal of immortality,
Comforter Divine.

8 Search for us the depths of God;
Upwards, by the starry road,
Bear us to Thy high abode,
Comforter Divine.

G. Rawson.

He hath given us of His Spirit.-1 JOHN iv. 13.

RACIOUS Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would gracious be;
And, with words that help and heal,
Would Thy life in mine reveal;
And, with actions bold and meek,
Would for Christ my Saviour speak.

2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would truthful be;
And with wisdom kind and clear
Let Thy life in mine appear;
And with actions brotherly
Speak my Lord's sincerity.

p 3 Tender Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would tender be;
Shut my heart up like a flower
At temptation's darksome hour;
Open it when shines the sun,
And His love by fragrance own.

ст

p 4 Silent Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would quiet be,

Quiet as the growing blade

Which through earth its way has made;
Silently, like morning light,

Putting mists and chills to flight.

f 5 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would mighty be,
Mighty so as to prevail,
Where unaided man must fail;
Ever by a mighty hope

Pressing on and bearing up.

mf 6 Holy Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would holy be;
Separate from sin, I would

Choose and cherish all things good;
And whatever I can be,

Give to Him who gave me Thee.

191 I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter.-JOHN xiv. 16.

[blocks in formation]

And make our hearts Thy home; Descend with all Thy gracious powers, O come, great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;

And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire; and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;

Let our whole soul an offering be

To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the dew; and sweetly bless

This consecrated hour;

May barrenness rejoice to own
Thy fertilising power.

5 Come as the dove; and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;

And let Thy Church on earth become
Blest as the Church above.

6 Come as the wind; with rushing sound And Pentecostal grace;

That all of woman born may see

The glory of Thy face.

7 Spirit Divine, attend our prayers,
Make a lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.

Andrew Reed.

C. Wesley.

Father upon you.-LUKE xxiv. 49. NTHRONED on high, Almighty Lord, The Holy Ghost send down;

Fulfil in us Thy faithful word,

And all Thy mercies crown.

2 Though on our heads no tongues of fire
Their wondrous powers impart,
Grant, Saviour, what we more desire,
Thy Spirit in our heart.

3 Spirit of life, and light, and love,
Thy heavenly influence give:
Quicken our spirits from above,
That we in Christ may live.

4 To our benighted souls reveal
The glories of His grace;

And bring us where no clouds conceal
The brightness of His face.

5 His love within us shed abroad,
Life's ever-springing well;
Till God in us, and we in God,
In love eternal dwell.

T. Haweis.
