recreate and guide us, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit who enlivens, sanctifies, enlightens,
sets us free, is now our Spirit-Friend.

Spirit of our Father, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit of our Jesu, Spirit-Friend.
Spirit of God's people, Spirit-Friend.
2 Darkened roads are clearer, heavy burdens lighter,
when we're walking with our Spirit-Friend.
Now we need not fear the powers of the darkness.
None can overcome our Spirit-Friend. [Refrain]
3 Now we are God's people, bonded by his presence,
agents of his purpose, Spirit-Friend.
Lead us forward ever, slipping backward never,
to your remade world, our Spirit-Friend. [Refrain] Topics: Spirit and Sustainer; Christ--Shepherd, the; Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit--Power of Scripture: John 14:25-31 Languages: English Tune Title: NATOMAH
