33. Our Blest Redeemer, Ere He Breathed

1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A guide, a Comforter bequeathed,
With us to dwell.

2 He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.

3 And ev'ry virtue we possess,
And ev'ry vict'ry won,
And ev'ry thought of holiness
Is his alone.

4 Spirit of purity and grace!
Our weakness pitying see;
Oh, make our hearts thy dwelling place,
And worthier thee!
