Our blest Redeemer ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A guide, a Comforter bequeathed,
With us on earth to dwell.
He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All-powerful as the wind he came,
And all as viewless, too.
He came, sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to fix his rest.
And his that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each fault, that calms each fear,
And whispers us of heaven.
And ev’ry virtue we possess,
And ev’ry virtue won,
And ev’ry thought of holiness
Are his and his alone.
