Come, O thou blessed Comforter

Verse 1

Come O thou blessed comforter, Thy precious gifts on us confer; Thy glorious light to us reveal, And cause each heart thy love to feel.

Verse 2

May we like the Disciples be: Who earnestly did wait on thee; Until thy promises were giv'n Thy gifts on them sent down from heav'n.

Verse 3

May we like they, be fill'd with joy, Like they, our efforts all employ; To sing thy praise, and shew thy love, Thy wonders and thy blessings prove.

Verse 4

Thy heav'nly aid and quick'ning pow'rs Can warm these frozen hearts of ours: Likewise afford us, life and heat, To conquer every foe we meet.

Verse 5

To feel thy love is life indeed! Thy gifts and grace is all we need: To make us happy in thy ways And fit us for to sing thy praise.
