Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #177 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sure the blest Comforter is nigh, 'Tis he sustains my fainting heart; Else would my hope forever die, And ev'ry cheering ray depart. 2 When some kind promise glads my soul, Do I not find his healing voice The tempest of my fears control, And bid my drooping pow'rs rejoice? 3 What less than thy almighty word Can raise my heart from earth and dust, And bid me cleave to thee, my Lord, My life, my treasure, and my trust! 4 And when my cheerful hope can say, "I love my God, and taste his grace;" Lord, is it not thy blissful ray, Which brings this dawn of sacred peace? 5 Let thy kind spirit in my heart Forvever dwell, O God of love; And light and heav'nly peace impart, Sweet earnest of the joys above.
