214 ~ 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 sweet influence to impart, A gracious, willing Guest, While he can find one humble heart Wherein to rest.

3

And his that gentle voice we hear, Soft as the breath of even, That checks the wrong, that calms the fear, And speaks of Heaven.

4

And every virtue we possess, And every victory won, And every thought of holiness Are his alone.

5

Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness, pitying, see; O make our hearts thy dwelling place, Till all like thee.
