(\'Come gracious Spirit, heavenly dove\')
John 14 v.22-27
*********
Jesus did answer Judas, see
Though he not [Judas] Iscariot be
In reply to question asked there
That Judas did with Jesus share
Saying, Lord, how is it that you
Will show yourself unto us true
And not unto the world? and so
Jesus answered him, he did know
Said, If one loves me, they will keep
My words and shall be as my sheep
And my Father will love them too
We will come, bide with them anew
Myself, the Son, and Father too
Shall unto them this honour do
They that love me not, they keep not
My sayings, not done, and forgot
They be not my own words, but see
They of the Father, His words be
I speak these things while with you here
While I in person do appear
But the Comforter, Paraclete
The Helper, the Spirit, He meet* (*suitable)
Sent in the Father\'s name will teach
You all things, none outside His reach
And He will bring to remembrance
All things that Jesus has said thence
Unto us, His peace, He us leaves
Constant unto each who believes
