The New Church Hymnal ‎#79

79. Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian's side;
Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore'er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.”

2 Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er.
Whisper softly, “Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.”

3 When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
Joyful that our names are there:
Fearing not the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus' blood,
Whisper softly, “Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.”
