Comforter Consolings

Tune: Franconia

(\'Blest are the pure in heart\')

John 14 v.14-17

***********

Jesus said, If you do

Love me, sincere and true

Keep my commandments, what I say

I be the Life, Truth, Way

 

And I will pray unto

The Father, and He to

You shall give another to stay

With you, even alway

 

Another Comforter*

To sister and brother

The Holy spirit, so shall He

You Helper ever be

 

He be the Paraclete**

Though the world not Him greet

Nor know Him, but for you He shall

With [you], and in you, e\'er dwell

* Comforter can include the meanings of \'solace\' and \'strengthen\'.
