Our blest Redeemer

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,
As viewless too.

3 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest;
Where He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.

4 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each thought, and calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.

5 And every virtue we possess,
And every conquest won,
And every thought of holiness
Are His alone.

6 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness pitying see:
O make our heart Thy dwelling-place,
And worthier Thee.

7 O praise the Father, praise the Son;
Blest Spirit, praise to Thee;
All praise to God, the Three in One,
The One in Three,
