Wear-y souls for e’er re-joice, While they hear that sweetest voice,

Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come, Follow Me,I'll guide thee home.” A-men.

2 Ever present, truest Friend,

3 When our days of toil shall cease, Ever near Thine aid to lend,

Waiting still for sweet release, Leave us not to doubt and fear,

Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Groping on in darkness drear.

Wondering if our names were there; When the storms are raging sore, Wading deep the dismal flood,

Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er, Pleading nought but Jesus' blood, Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come, Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come,

Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.” Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.”

HOVER O’ER ME, HOLY SPIRIT.

1. Hov - er o'er me, Ho - ly Spir.. it; Bathe my trembling heart and brow; 2. Thou can’st fill me, gracious Spirit, Though I can - not tell Thee how; 3. I am weakness, full of weakness; At Thy sa cred feet

I bow; 4. Cleanse and comfort; bless and save me; Bathe, oh, bathe my heart and brow;

Fill me with Thy hallowed presence, Come, oh, come and fill me now.
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee, Come, oh, come and fill me now.
Blest, di- vine, e. ter - nal Spir - it, Fill with power, and fill me now.
Thou art com-fort- ing and sa-ving, Thou art sweet - ly fill- ing now.

1. Sing, Oheavens! O earth re - joice! An - gel harp, and hu-man voice, 2. Bruis - ed is the ser - pent's head, Hell is vanquished, Death is dead, 3. All His work and war - fare done, He in - to His heaven is gone,
