Representative Text

1 O Spirit of Truth from the Father above,
Come dwell in my heart, every idol remove;
I need Thee to counsel, to comfort and cheer,
I need the to warn me when dangers are near.

Refrain:
O blessed Comforter,draw me to Thee;
I need Thee, I need Thee,
O dwell Thou with me.

2 The riches of grace and its fullness unfold,
And teach me to trust where I cannot behold;
O why am I doubting and ready to fall,
When Thou art so willing to answer my call? [Refrain]

3 O Spirit of Love! my Redeemer doth send
My Teacher and Guide, my Protector and Friend;
I see not before me one step by the way,
But Thou art my Safeguard by night and by day. [Refrain]
