P. M. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS. The Holy Ghost the Comforter. 1 OUR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed 2 He came in tongues of living flame, All powerful as the wind he came, 3 He came sweet influence to impart, While he can find one humble heart 4 And his that gentle voice we hear, That checks each fault, that calms each fear, And speaks of heaven. 5 And every virtue we possess, And every victory won, And every thought of holiness, 6 Spirit of purity and grace, O make our hearts thy dwelling-place, 254. C. M. BP. HEBER. For the day of Pentecost, or Whitsunday. 1 SPIRIT of truth! on this thy day To guide us through the dreary way 2 We ask not, Lord, thy cloven flame, 3 We mourn not that prophetic skill 4 We neither have nor seek the power 5 No heavenly harpings soothe our ear, 6 When tongues shall cease, and power decay, And knowledge empty prove, Do thou thy trembling servants stay 255.
