when we try to pray;
nearer come, and teach us
what we ought to say.

through the words we read;
bring to life the Bible

each a lively mind;
make us more like Jesus,
gracious, pure and kind.

what is wrong to conquer,
and to choose the right. Scripture: John 16:5-15 Languages: English Tune Title: GLENFINLAS
