Promise of the Spirit

Tune: Gonfalon Royal

('The royal banners forward go')

John 14 v.26-27

**********

Jesus said that the Comforter

Which is the Holy Spirit sure

The Helper, He the Paraclete

Shall come, and you shall Him true greet

 

The Father, God, He will Him send

In Jesus' name, He will attend

To us, He shall teach us all things

All things needed to each He brings

 

And He shall bring all things unto

Our remembrance, fresh and anew

Whatsoever Jesus has said

To us, all for our daily bread

 

Peace, Jesus He does with us leave

His peace He gives with no deceive

Not as the world gives does He give

But His true peace that we may live

 

He says, Let heart not troubled be

Nor let it be afraid, but see

When I go away, suffer, die

I shall rise again, it no lie

    What's a paraclete?!

    • orchidee

      Thanks SC. It's as it says; Paraclete = A Helper, one called alongside to help. Not to be confused with parakeet! heehee.

          Pon me - shiver me timbers (in the sense of 'surprise'). That paraclete has been in some of me other poems too. It's probably Greek, the language of the New Testament.
          You got your teeth in, with those 's's as 'f's? Did they have too many ginf?!

            Thank you for sharing.
            My aunt’s favorite words before she says goodnight…“Let not your heart be troubled” .

            So my dear Orchi, “Let not your heart be troubled” .
