Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #239 (1888) First Line: Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed,
With us to dwell.
2 He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All-powerful as the wind he came,
And viewless, too.
3 He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
4 And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness
Is his alone.
5 Spirit of purity and grace!
Our weakness pitying see;
Oh, make our hearts thy dwelling-place,
And worthier thee! Topics: The Holy Spirit Scripture: John 14:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CUTHBERT
