John 14 v.16-18
********
Jesus to the Father prays
And after not any days
The Comforter, Spirit, He
Shall be given, see
Given to us that He may
Bide with us, e\'er with us stay
For ever, He not depart
Inhabits each heart
Even spirit of truth He
Eternally so He be
The world cannot him receive
For they not believe
They do not see him or know
But believers here below
May know Him, for He does dwell
In our hearts, we tell
Jesus will not lave us be
Comfortless, pitiably
But will come to us and stay
In the Spirit\'s day
