Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #159 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Come 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 Like the dew Thy peace distil;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter divine.
4 Gentle, awful, holy Guest,
Make Thy temple in each breast;
There Thy presence be confessed,
Comforter divine.
5 In us, for us, intercede,
And, with voiceless groanings, plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter divine.
6 In us Abba, Father! cry,
Earnest of the bliss on high,
Seal of immortality,
Comforter divine.
7 Search for us the depths of God!
Bear us up the starry road
To the height of Thine abode,
Comforter divine.
