We are not left to walk alone

1 We are not left to walk alone,
The Spirit of our God hath come,
For ever with us to abide,
Our Teacher, Comforter and Guide;
Thus, with his gracious presence blest,
We press toward our heavenly rest;
Hasting the dreary desert through,
With our eternal home in view.

2 Jesus, the Father's only Son,
Jesus, his own beloved One,
Jesus, now seated at his side,
Hath claimed us for his own, his bride.
Of him and his the Spirit tells,
Upon his love he sweetly dwells;
And, while we listen to his voice,
We wonder, worship and rejoice.

3 He teaches us the Father's grace,
Reveals to us the Saviour's face,
And doth to all our hearts declare
The glory it is ours to share.
Our every sorrow be forgot,
The joys of earth be heeded not;
The Comforter is come, and we
Shall soon with our Beloved be.
