You now must hear my voice no more

Verse 1

You now must hear my voice no more; my Father calls me home; but soon from heav’n the Holy Ghost, your Comforter, shall come.

Verse 2

That heav’nly Teacher, sent from God, shall your whole soul inspire; your minds shall fill with sacred truth, your hearts with sacred fire.

Verse 3

Peace is the gift I leave with you; my peace to you bequeath; peace that shall comfort you through life, and cheer your souls in death.

Verse 4

I give not as the world bestows, with promise false and vain; Nor cares, nor fears, shall wound the heart in which my words remain.
