Hymn 203
Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed
- Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeath'd
With us to dwell.
- He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All powerful as the wind He came.
As viewless too.
- He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest;
Where He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
- 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.
- And every virtue we possess.
And every conquest won.
And every thought of holiness
Are His alone.
- Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness pitying see:
O make our heart Thy dwellingplace.
And worthier Thee.
- O praise the Father, praise the Son;
Blest Spirit, praise to Thee;
All praise to God, the Three in One,
The One in Three.
Christly Living
