O Holy Spirit, Comforter

Author: T. E. Holling, 1867- Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Blest Advocate and Friend, Be near us in the stress of life, Thy heavenly aid to lend, For Thou the Spirit art Of Life and Light and Love, Our death, our doubt and sin Thy coming shall remove. 2 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Thou promised guide divine, On all the journey of our life Command Thy light to shine. So shall we never stray From ways our Master trod, So shall our pathway lead To rest, to home and God. 3 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Thou searching, cleansing fire; Come purge away the dross of sin, Make pure the heart's desire. Then kindle in us zeal, And crown with tongues of flame, With Pentecostal power We shall the word proclaim. 4 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Convict the world of sin, Reveal the righteousness of God, The reign of Christ bring in. Then shall the kings of earth Their scepters sway in peace, And war with all its woe From all the earth shall cease. 5 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Now glorify the Son; Now save and sanctify and seal, And make Thy people one. So shall the church on earth Be as the Church above; So shall the world become A paradise of love.

Henry Thomas Smart

1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart, 1813-1879 Composer of "PARADISE (Smart)" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known). Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporiza­tions and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for impor­tant places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861). Bert Polman
